action

A male corpse of water is found in the Danube . It is the second such case within a few months. Like the first man, the dead man was single and had withdrawn all his cash before he came to Vienna . At the same time, there are increasing numbers of reports from single women who have fallen for a marriage swindler in Vienna. The older man, who always pretended to be noble, put the women in a small hotel and robbed them after they passed out. Chief Inspector Marek, District Inspector Wirz and Inspector Berntner take over the investigation. They find out that the men were poisoned with a substance that is only produced in Johanna Hassmann's small company in Vienna. When questioned, she admits that a bottle of the poison was stolen some time ago, which she reported to the police. She had her colleague Maria Hillmann under suspicion, but she had left the company shortly after the allegations. When asked by Berntner, their landlady Eleonore Heller said that Hillmann had moved a long time ago.

In the meantime, the single Grete BÄNDER arrives in Vienna, who is expected by the distinguished Udo von Kahlreuth. He pretends to have little money, but shows interest in marrying Grete, for whom he has reserved a small hotel room. They both go to the Wurstelprater and Kahlreuth see them the next evening in their hotel room. He gives her chocolates, which after a while lead to a breakdown in Grete, and disappears with her money. At the time, Wirz had just arrived in the hotel lobby, looking for a hotel with neon signs opposite the description of the women who had been betrayed. The maid reports that strange noises have come from Grete's room, and Wirz finds the woman passed out. The night porter is arrested as an accessory to the fraudster.

Maria Hillmann, who is suspected of stealing poison, is found dead in the Danube. She only died the day before, as the studies show, and she was also poisoned. Meanwhile, Berntner meets with the Yugoslav innkeeper Mirko Kolarovic, who a few weeks ago had a wife with a man in his restaurant, and after a while the man showed signs of intoxication. Kolarovic promises to contact Berntner if he should see the woman again. Shortly thereafter, investigators raided the Moulin Rouge strip club . They happened to arrest the German chief inspector Brammer, who was able to solve another case with the suspect Korf while he was in custody, as well as the criminal Pondra, who had already been in prison through Marek. Pondra is released after a short time because there is nothing against him.

In a further local search, the investigators arrested Udo von Kahlreuth, who, in view of the impending murder charges in the Hillmann case, quickly admits that he had cheated on numerous women. Chocolates filled with strong laxatives and consumed by the women turn out to be the “weapon of the crime”. Marek secures a pack. In addition, he continues to investigate the case of the poisoned men unnoticed by Wirz and Berntner and reports on a marriage advertisement under a false name. At the same time, Kolarovic recognizes the suspicious woman in his restaurant: It is Eleonore Heller, who is eating here in the company of the single Kramreiter. Kolarovic makes a note of the woman's license plate and Wirz and Berntner go to the apartment. Here Eleonore Heller has already administered poison to Kramreiter and is waiting for Kramreiter's death in the company of Pondra, with whom she is doing common cause. She already has a new prospect for marriage in her sights - Marek, who is registered under a false name, who appears surprising but is recognized by Pondra. An exchange of fire breaks out when Wirz and Berntner have just reached Eleonore Heller's apartment. Marek shot Pondra in self-defense. Pondra and Eleonore Heller are arrested. The poisoned Kramreiter, in turn, can be saved.
