action
The police chief, Franz Eberhofer, who has been transferred to the provinces as a former criminal investigation officer, lives with his grandmother, who is gifted at cooking but apparently hard of hearing, and his father, a pensioner, hippie and Beatles fan, in Niederkaltenkirchen in Lower Bavaria . Franz, for example, tolerates his father's small cannabis garden (only for his own use). He also has a love affair with the secretary Susi.
Eberhofer's first assignment in the film leads him to the universally unpopular school director Höpfl. The house wall of the school principal who lives alone is sprayed with "DIE SAU" in large red letters. After the report to the only local police officer Eberhofer, the rector disappears from the scene for a few days without leaving any message. This encourages Eberhofer to take part in some activities, such as the official opening of the house by a locksmith and inspection of the premises, without noticing any abnormalities.
After a few days, however, Höpfl reappears, which is reported to him by phone. He wants to confront the rector and therefore goes to his house, where - after ringing the bell in vain - he breaks in with the spare key he had previously taken from the house and surprises Mr. Höpfl in his bathtub. This leads to an exchange of words in which the rector insists on his privacy and forbids such inquiries. Shortly afterwards, however, he is found dead at night with his head severed on the rails of the station under a freight train.
Eberhofer's girlfriend is meanwhile angry with him because after a night together he carelessly notices that she has "meanwhile pretty dents on di Haxn", whereupon she jumps out of bed, leaves the house and - and smoking weed in front of the house under his eyes Father - rides his bike home naked. His brother and his Thai wife hire him - after a brief argument between him and his brother about the father's drug plantation - as a babysitter for the duration of the Thai sister-in-law's German course, because - except for his mother - only with him is the baby happy and quiet .
In contrast to his agency manager Moratschek, Eberhofer does not believe in a suicide, but continues to search for the perpetrator. He is supported by his former colleague Rudi Birkenberger from Munich, who at the time refused to be transferred to the provinces and prefers to work as a house detective for a supermarket, but is bored. Her research leads her to Bruno, a school colleague of Eberhofer's who fled to the Foreign Legion when he found out about his girlfriend's pregnancy. He recently returned and is now a locksmith. His son Marcel had dealt with the homosexual Höpfl. Bruno is arrested as the culprit in the end. Shortly thereafter, however, both discover that Höpfl must have been murdered by Marcel's mother, Bruno's ex-girlfriend. This is not corrected by Eberhofer and his friend, however, because they think that Bruno should atone for his flight from his responsibility as a father instead of his mother (the end of the film differs considerably from the original book).
In the final scene, he drops his buddy Birkenberger at the traffic roundabout outside the town and immediately follows - in the green and white company car - his friend Susi, who has gone to Italy to visit her Italian vacation friend, in order to win her back for himself.

Reviews
“Quirky (TV) crime comedy populated by quirky characters as a film adaptation of a novel by Rita Falk, in which there is a lot of bavarianism. The many shrill punchlines are contrasted with some amiable, melancholy moments. "
"Thanks to many funny and dryly presented dialogues [...] this urban Bavarian slapstick [...] is thoroughly entertaining despite the rather mediocre TV production. Most actors do their job quite well, even if a few moments come across as stiff and overconstructed. "
“Even if the film cannot avoid some clichés, it is great fun. Director Herzog and screenwriter Christian Zübert have brought wonderfully quirky characters into being, who take the adversities of life calmly and face them with a lot of dry humor. "
