Bauernschach plot

Franz Hofnagel (Mario Adorf) from Vienna was innocently convicted 22 years ago for arson, which left one dead. In addition, he was declared mentally incompetent and placed at the disposal of the government for an indefinite period and had to spend his days in a mental institution. He owes all this to his lawyer Dr. Gerold Stadler (Otto Sander) and his perjury wife, who was in cahoots with counsel.
