Schwarzer Lohn und weiße Weste

The film revolves around the head of a newly established office aimed at combating illegal employment and undeclared work. As he navigates the murky waters of the shadow economy, he encounters an international building tycoon, a struggling small businessman, and an unemployed individual, all caught in the fallout of his investigations.

With a strong cast including Peer Schmidt, Manfred Lehmann, Brigitte Mira, and Karl Walter Diess, Schwarzer Lohn und weiße Weste presents a gritty portrayal of crime and moral dilemmas. The film's exploration of societal issues makes it relevant for viewers interested in the intersection of crime and economics, typical of the genre's thematic depth in the mid-1980s.
