Synopsis:

The habitual criminal Roby Schmucker is taken to prison. As he it is already his fourth time in prison, the lone wolf stays calm. First thing, he gets a general idea about who has a say and who can supply what. Nothing is as it had been, everything is much tougher. Only the director is an old acquaintance. From his earlier prison stays Roby knows that 'the pope', how he calls the head of the institution, is the one who pulls the strings. Smiling, he advises: proper work, no violence. Roby Schmucker anticipates being out soon. But after his trial the crude facts strike him: sentenced to twelve years in jail. Suicide or escape? When he hears of a black mate's plan to escape, he grabs the chance. The director smells the rat and turns the escape attempt into a drill. The escape fails. When Roby learns that his daughter is missing, he smashes his cell. As a result, he is sent to the bunker and isolated from his mates for several days. He is completely down. He dreams of his time in Africa. He worked there as a mechanic and founded a family. Remembering the happy time, an immovable thought takes form: leave and find the daughter. Therefore, he confides in a Muslim cell mate, Mohammed Hiab. Between the two a friendship evolves. In the cellar of the prison, Roby makes a tremendous discovery: the son of the director, an abortive economics student, was convinced by a Russian prisoner of producing pills in a laboratory in the prison. When the director finds out that his son is fabricates drugs in his jail, he feels impelled either to report his own son or to get him overseas. Roby Schmucker and his cell mate gather evidence. The director suddenly becomes prone to be blackmailed and the key to freedom is within their grasp. Roby Schmucker is to fight out the struggle of his lifetime.

Habitual lawbreaker Roby Schmucker has landed in the slammer again, this time for 12 years. Remembering happier days when he worked in Africa and had a young family, he decides he must return there to see his daughter again. With the help of his trusted friend and fellow inmate Mohammed, Roby initiates a cunning plan to bring the prison director to his knees and make his escape.

The habitual criminal Roby Schmucker is sent to prison for the fourth time. He steadily begins to have confidence in his cell mate Mohammed Hiab. Together they discover the dark scheme the director has to take responsibility for. In the struggle for freedom, Roby Schmucker can bring the head of the institution to his knees.
