action
In their fourth joint case, Major Peter Palfinger and Chief Detective Hubert Mur from Traunstein investigate a murder in Bad Gastein . Hofrat Seywald decides to personally lead the investigation in the health resort, not least in order to also try treatments against his rheumatism in the Gasteiner Heilstollen . Palfinger and his assistant Irene Russmeyer encounter the problem that forensic medicine hardly provides any useful results. Because the body was in a shaft with hot spring water, so that, among other things, the time of death can no longer be determined and important traces were destroyed.
The dead person is identified as Gregor Torbeck. He was the son of Jan Torbeck, an unpopular investor and building contractor who bought various properties in the town center before the turn of the millennium, but then stopped investing and let the properties fall into disrepair.
Palfinger initially suspects the members of a German unit of the SEK from Munich , which completed an alpine course in Bad Gastein. The cable ties that were used to fix the murder victim were found in the team's accommodation. Chief Inspector Mur should ensure that the Austrian authorities investigate objectively and not unilaterally to the detriment of the German officials. Rebecca Quast, a police officer of the SEK, claims to have fixed Gregor Torbeck's hands with a cable tie after harassing the coffee house owner Kathrin Wenger, but afterwards she let him go.
Mur himself suspects Agrin Dibra, the operator of a nightclub, of the act. He had signed a preliminary contract with Gregor Torbeck for the lease of the bathing castle. According to the radio cell evaluation , he was at the crime scene at the time of the crime, and his fingerprints were found in Torbeck's empty safe. He wanted to get back money that Gregor Torbeck owed him. He accuses Jan Torbeck of killing his own son because he is said to have squandered his inheritance while he was still alive.
Forensic science uses a DNA analysis to find out that Jan Torbeck was not Gregor Torbeck's biological father, but Robert Kendelbacher, who is in a wheelchair due to muscular dystrophy and who runs a museum in Jan Torbeck's run-down Grand Hotel de l'Europe . Palfinger suspects that Kendelbacher murdered Gregor Torbeck because he had molested his girlfriend Kathrin Wenger, and is now also planning to take revenge on Jan Torbeck, with whose wife Maria, who has since died, he had a relationship, but because of his illness he had the relationship at the time finished. Kendelbacher himself did not know that he was Gregor's father. After threatening to blow up the healing tunnel, he is finally arrested.
While the murder case was being resolved, Russmeyer, who grew up near Gastein, found out that her father was not killed in a car accident when she was eight, but that he deliberately caused it and committed suicide due to high gambling debts . In order to still receive the payment from the life insurance taken out just three weeks beforehand , this was presented as an accident.

Reviews
Wilfried Geldner described the film in the Weser-Kurier as a "Gastein tourism crime thriller", which in its torrent of words would get out of hand like a mountain stream after the continuous rain. Some cabaret scenes wouldn't change that. It is "not easy for the homeland crime-makers to combine scenic charm with a believable plot, and so here too one has to follow the most abstruse entanglements." , their confessions and approaches, compensates for any other kind of talk. "
Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv wrote that the fourth film in the series is so serious that the notoriously bad mood of the Bavarian official Mur seems rather out of place here. The story, told in a complicated way, sometimes looked puzzling, some elements of the plot would simply be superfluous. On the other hand, the setting is attractive: "Bad Gastein's morbid charm fits perfectly with the mood of the film."
