action
Franz Kufner, the chairman of the Tölzer Jagdverein, meets secretly with his lover Lisa Kornfelder at a high seat in Kornfelder's hunting ground. When they are disturbed by noises one night, Kufner sets out to find out where they come from. But he does not return and is found dead the next day. Forensic doctor Dr. Robert Sprung discovers that the injuries were caused by a bear. Commissioner Benno Berghammer believes it is unlikely that a passionate hunter will be surprised by a bear and - against the will of public prosecutor Dr. Georg Lenz - together with his colleague Nadine Richter, starts an investigation while the hunters go in search of the problem bear in order to kill him.
Several people with a murder motive soon emerged: taxidermist Joe Zitzelsberger swore bitter revenge because Franz Kufner excluded him from the hunting club for shooting down protected birds of prey and made sure that he no longer received any major orders. Kufner screwed up a big business for the game butcher Albrecht Kornfelder by preventing the construction of a ski run, including a lift and restaurant. Ursula Kufner, the victim's widow, who stated that everyone liked her husband, continues to deny that he was betrayed by him.
When the bear, whose hair was found in the victim's wounds, is found to have been dead for three years, the commissioners step up their efforts to find the real culprit before the suspected bear is shot down. They ask the taxidermist about the bearskin they saw at an earlier interview in his workshop, but he allegedly sold it to an unknown person. Public prosecutor Lenz, who temporarily took over the chairmanship of the hunting club, refused to give them a search warrant; besides, he doesn't want to miss shooting a bear.
Nadine Richter researches that three years ago Franz Kufner, accompanied by Lisa Kornfelder, shot a female brown bear in Romania , whose fur was prepared and sent to Bad Tölz. Lisa Kornfelder was still called Haselbeck at that time and was employed as a sausage seller for her future husband. The bear hair that was seized also comes from Romania.
The commissioners confront Ursula Kufner with their new findings and learn that a year ago she found out about her husband's relationship with Lisa Kornfelder and gave him a choice. In her presence he ended the relationship with the sausage seller over the phone, and his wife had one more child from him. Since then he has not traveled with Lisa Kornfelder either. Kufner's grown son Max, who often jogs through the forest with a headlamp at night, may have committed the murder out of love for his mother, but he claims he woke up at the time in question because of his little brother, who always wanted to be breastfed at the same time .
Lisa Kornfelder only married her boss ten months ago; Albrecht Kornfelder comforted her after the end of the love affair with Franz Kufner and gave her a feeling of security. She admits that she met Franz Kufner on the night of the murder. They had waited together on the high seat for a horde of wild boars, but then a ski tourer with a headlamp scared the animals away. Franz wanted to ask him, but he didn't come back, so she went home. Her husband only came home early in the morning after bogging down in a pub with the Bundestag member Hans Meidenbauer.
Since Albrecht Kornfelder suspects the bearskin from Romania in the Kufner family, Benno Berghammer and Nadine Richter obtain a search warrant from public prosecutor Lenz's deputy for the property of the Kornfelder and Kufner families and Joe Zitzelsberger. The search for the bearskin is unsuccessful in all three places, but police officer Schmidt discovers documents in Kornfelder's desk from which it emerges that the wild butcher has transferred the entire property to his wife for tax reasons on the day of his wedding. He has the strongest motive of all the suspects, because if his wife leaves him, he is penniless in one fell swoop. That is exactly what Lisa Kornfelder planned to do, and she packed the suitcase in the presence of policeman Schmidt. But since there is neither a confession nor evidence, the culprit can only be determined through the disappeared bearskin. The commissioners decide to set a trap for the murderer. For this purpose, police officer Schmidt is to order the Kornfelders, the Kufners and Joe Zitzelsberger to the hut of the hunting club for 4 p.m.
At the agreed time, everyone except Benno Berghammer and Albrecht Kornfelder is on site, and public prosecutor Lenz has also appeared to find out what the meeting is all about. A bear emerges from the undergrowth, but it turns out to be Benno Berghammer. He says the perpetrator slipped into this bearskin, then killed Franz Kufner from behind and inflicted the injuries on him with his paw. Nadine Richter watches Albrecht Kornfelder getting his rifle ready to fire and can warn her colleague just in time. Kornfelder claims he saw the bear and wanted to kill it. Public prosecutor Lenz asks Commissioner Berghammer to take off the bearskin and hand it over to forensics. Kornfelder thinks that this is also in his interest, so that Berghammer's allegations would be refuted. The inspector replied that only the real perpetrator could know that this fur was not what was missing. Nadine Richter adds that she was following Kornfelder earlier when he snuck to a hut to see if the missing bearskin was still there. Policeman Schmidt reports that the fur was found in the hut. When Berghammer says that the shot was not aimed at him, but for Lisa Kornfelder, she is furious and yells at her husband that she found a headlamp in his pocket; he had followed her to the high seat and killed Franz. Although Albrecht Kornfelder denies everything, he is arrested.
