action

The corpse of the landowner Kaspar Schoder is discovered in the chair of a ski lift; he was pierced by a ski pole. The commissioners Benno Berghammer and Sabrina Lorenz determine that the day before the engagement of Kaspar Schoder's son Sepp to Vroni Röckl took place - against the will of Schoder senior, who feared that Vroni was only after the money.

The dead man was known as a bitter opponent of an expansion of the ski area. Tourism director Reinhard Unholzer felt that, too, who worked with Schoder for a long time to sell his section of the mountain. The Röckl family, who run a ski hut on the Hirschberg near the mountain station, had a murderous motive, because their financial misery could be ended by opening up new ski areas that Schoder had previously prevented.

The dead man had a receipt from a copy shop with him, which is how the commissioners found out that Kaspar Schoder had copied a geological report that predicted that gigantic slides are to be expected in the next 50 years if the southern slope of the Hirschberg is cleared. The investor group had another report drawn up, which certifies the harmlessness of deforestation, and passed it on to Sepp Schoder, who knew nothing of the original report. When the police found out about the existence of two reports, he suggested an alternative variant of the extension of the ski area, excluding the southern slope of the Hirschberg, and made his consent to the sale subject to the condition that the director of tourism be replaced. To Reinhard Unholzer's chagrin, the investors and the mayor agree.

Inspector Berghammer suspects that someone from the Röckl family is behind the murder, but because he has no evidence, he asks Sepp Schoder for help: He should refuse the family of his fiancée the financial support. When the two inspectors visit the Röckl family, Vronis' brother Alfons asks why everyone was after them, the police should ask Sepp Schoder, after all, he had benefited most from the murder. For money you can get someone to commit murder. Röckl senior interjects that the client has the best alibi, and as you can see, it works. Everyone knows that Sepp Schoder wanted to persuade his father to sell, until he had to see on the basis of the report that forecast the landslide that his father was right. And so Sepp knew that there was only one solution. Inspector Berghammer asks Karl Röckl how he knew about this report, and he replies that Kaspar Schoder showed it to him about two weeks ago. With this statement he exposes himself as a liar, because Kaspar Schoder only found out about the report a few hours before his death. Berghammer therefore accuses him of stabbing Kaspar Schoder to death after the engagement party and taking the report from him, and asks him to hand it over. Röckl junior takes the report out of a drawer and says that it looked out of Schoder's jacket and that he just took it with him. Karl Röckl wants to take the blame on himself and accuses his son of lying, but Alfons counters that only the perpetrator knows where the murder weapon is. As a motive, he states that after the engagement party he overheard a dispute between Kaspar and Sepp Schoder, in which Schoder senior again refused the sale, and then it became clear to him that everyone who lives from tourism would only have a future then when old Schoder is gone.

Subplot

Inspector Berghammer's mother Resi plans to market her “Original Tölzer Streuselkuchen ” - the recipe for which she received from an aunt from Lower Bavaria who has since passed away - throughout the region. She buys two new ovens and a dough mixer and also finds a buyer for her cake. He would actually rather buy the recipe from her and produce it himself, but she refuses. In order to boost this business even more, she takes out a loan of 30,000 marks and buys the ski lodge of the heavily indebted Röckl family; Her son Benno has to act as guarantor. She recruits the necessary staff without further ado at the employment office because she wants to save herself the paperwork and pay her employees black.

When Ms. Berghammer learns that a huge self-service restaurant is to be built on the mountain as part of an expansion of the ski area, she sees her existence threatened and sells the ski hut to the bank advisor, who only wants to spare 15,000 marks. She covers the remaining debts by selling the crumble cake recipe, including the oven and dough mixer.
