Bettina Maurer, mayor of a small town, is cut by a car while crossing a street. She yells out wild insults at the driver before she enters the anteroom of a small bank branch to withdraw money just before midnight. But then her EC card gets stuck in the vending machine. At this moment, Martin, visiting from Berlin, enters the room. He is also in a hurry and wants to solve the problem quickly at an ATM: He therefore pokes around in the card slot with a hairpin — this results in a short circuit. But not only is the vending machine out of operation afterwards, the electronically secured door also no longer opens. And so the two are now stuck and all attempts to get help fail.
