Berlin lawyer Joachim Vernau receives a lucrative offer: he is to prepare grammar school students at a public school for their law studies and lead the law club. Vernau takes over the 7th lesson, but on the very first day there is a scandal: Katharina Oettinger, the headmistress, has concealed the fact that a girl from Vernau's class committed suicide a few months ago.
