action
Commissioner Benno Berghammer receives a call from his former schoolmate Dr. Kurt Thaler, who works as a dietician in the Tölzer Kurklinik. He indicates that something is wrong in the clinic, but does not want to talk about it on the phone and arranges a personal meeting with Berghammer. But before that happens, the doctor suffers fatal head injuries in a traffic accident and hit-and-run.
The inspector fears that his old school colleague has fallen victim to a crime and is admitted as a spa patient to conduct research on the spot. Public Prosecutor Dr. Zirner, who is also currently on the cure, is not very pleased, especially since Commissioner Sabrina Lorenz is on vacation. Berghammer is not deterred and immediately finds a couple of suspects: Dr. Thaler's widow, former lover of the spa clinic director Dr. Peter Maywald, has a high life insurance policy due to the death of her husband, and Dr. Maywald turns out to be a fraudster who defrauds the health insurance companies with manipulated invoices, supported by the cocaine addicted doctor Dr. Irene Pfister.
When another overweight spa guest suddenly dies - the second case within a few weeks - and he himself has to be freed from the externally locked steam bath by his physiotherapist Simone Erhardt, Berghammer thought that he might have to look for the motive for the murder somewhere else after all - all the more so When he found out from Ms. Erhardt that after the death of all patients, the metabolism-stimulating drug was discontinued, except for him, and that the dose was even doubled.
When Berghammer discovers that Ms. Erhardt was taking a drug for pregnant women, he asked Christine Thaler whether she knew about the relationship between her husband and Simone Erhardt. The widow claims that she only found out when, after the accident, she found a letter in her husband's belongings in which Mrs. Erhardt asked her husband to leave his wife. If he doesn't talk to his wife, then she will. The inspector wants to see the letter, but Ms. Thaler allegedly burned it.
During his further research, Benno Berghammer discovers that Dr. Pfister committed a malpractice at her previous job in Bad Reichenhall and is only a doctor because Dr. Maywald, who was her boss there too, held his hand over her. He also observes an argument between Dr. Pfister and an employee of a pharmaceutical company . It turns out that she is developing a slimming pill that Dr. Pfister illegally tests on unsuspecting patients to finance their cocaine use. She denies everything, but Berghammer replies that she knew the risk of the pills because of the deaths and that she insidiously tried to kill him with double the dose, but thanks to his horse nature, he survived. Dr. Pfister justifies her approach by saying that if the pill had been successful she could have started a new life, she did not want anyone to be harmed.
Benno Berghammer is now certain that Dr. Thaler didn't have to die because he knew about the machinations of the two doctors. He visits Simone Erhardt and wants to talk to her again about her alibi. Then she jumps into her car and runs away. The superintendent puts her on a railway bridge and can only prevent her from rushing down by persuading her. She protests that it was not intentional for Dr. Killing Thaler. She drove next to him in the car and wanted to make amends with the letter; she hadn't really intended to talk to his wife. But he did not listen to her, let go of the handlebars, gestured around and slid sideways against the car. Then all she heard was how his head hit the car and got under the tires. When she came to, she turned around, but the emergency doctor was already there.
