action
A new case for Chief Inspector Frank Stolte and Chief Inspector Ingo Fischer. A bomb disguised as a crab can detonates on a motorway embankment. Two road workers barely survive. The perpetrator and Richie Weber immediately seem to have been taken, as he had threatened with bombs along the motorway shortly beforehand. Shortly thereafter, a second-hand shop is broken into. The stolen things are found a little later with a cassette and a tin figure near the highway. On the cassette, a certain "Rascar Capac" can be recognized as the author of the bomb attack. He demands 1 million DM in cash and a kilo of gold. At the second-hand dealer, the inspectors find out that "Rascar Capac" is a character from a Tintin comic. After a failed ransom handover, a construction site is converted so that it comes to a pile-up. A game of cat and mouse begins for Frank. First he is sent to a swimming pool by the bomber, but when Ingo appears there, "Rascar Capac" sends Frank to a museum. There, however, the handover of the money fails when a museum guard steals the sack with the money it contained. After this ransom delivery also failed, the police officer Marcus Bodmar is seriously injured by an attack by "Rascar Capac" and warns the commissioners of further attacks. District manager Katharina Lamprecht struggled with the press after the attacks. But the case takes an unexpected turn when it is discovered that the explosives Rascar Capac is using had previously been used by the terrorist Khalid Masharid. However, this is in prison. Even when talking to the terrorist, the commissioners get stuck. Only after a tip from the injured Marcus Bodmar, who read through all the Tintin comics in the hospital, did the inspectors find the explosives that Khalid had once used in a disused motorway bunker. When the commissioners tell the terrorist that they have found his explosives, they also find out that it is Steve Kroeger, a former inmate to whom Khalid revealed the whereabouts of his explosives and who is hiding behind the pseudonym "Rascar Capac". Now there is a final ransom handover, in which Kröger first sends Frank through the whole city and later has the money thrown through a laundry chute in a hotel. But Kröger is also being followed by Ingo and Anja Heckendorn, who are new to the team to replace Bodmar. A chase begins in which Frank jumps onto the roof of Kröger's car. In the end, Kröger races into a freight train with his car and can be arrested slightly injured, but he promises to come back.

criticism
- Süddeutsche Zeitung : "When the series went on air in March 1996 with the pilot film" Bombs at Kilometer 92 ", there was not even the slightest bit of action culture on German television. [...] If you looked closely, you would regularly recognize a young stuntman without a fixed haircut, but with daring driving behavior. His name: Hermann Joha . It is precisely this man who, in the mid-1990s, succeeded in freeing the country from the leisurely hunter fence actions that had dominated German films and series until then. Suddenly there was a series on RTL that smashed high-income German limousines at Hollywood level in a row - with the help of Johas verve and skill. "
