Wilhelm Feindt, ein frisch verheirateter Undercover-Agent des LKA, der gemeinsam mit seinem Partner und Freund Ben Broder den flüchtigen Gangsterboss Santos verhaften will, wird bei einem Mordanschlag lebensgefährlich verletzt. Um den Fall zu klären, ohne die geplante Verhaftung von Santos zu gefährden und dabei endlich an eine ominöse Liste von bestochenen Politikern und Polizisten zu gelangen, arbeitet Kommissarin Lena Odenthal eng mit dem legendenumwobenen Ben Broder zusammen. Zugleich soll sie verhindern, dass Broder Rache für den Mordanschlag an seinem Freund nimmt und Selbstjustiz an den Mördern übt, die offenbar vom Rheindampfer Switzerland kamen. Das ungleiche Paar observiert das Schiff, das als illegales Spielcasino dient. Hier soll sich Santos in den nächsten 72 Stunden mit seinem Konkurrenten Tauber treffen. Lena verliebt sich in den rätselhaften Macho Broder.
