The Appeal to Conscience

Plot: Ten years ago, the "Andree case" was seemingly solved. Now criminal investigator Husfeld is to reopen it, as doubts have arisen about the guilt of Helga Andree, who was convicted at the time.

The broadcast brings back memories of the night of the crime for those present at the time...
