Schocker ran away. But he does not get far. His girlfriend Elli gives the police a tip and is glad that Schocker is brought back. On Christmas Eve, he lets Richy persuade him to go with him to the kindergarten. 200 D-Mark are supposed to be there for the taking. But the two are ratted out. Richy escapes. Schocker is caught. His situation becomes more and more difficult. Richy, who befriends the gypsy Mohrle and learns to play the guitar from him, has to experience how his father destroys the bond with the "gypsy pack".
