action

Resi Berghammer and Commissioner Sabrina Lorenz visit an election campaign event in Kogelreuth for the upcoming local council election. There they witness a violent argument between Mayor Ignaz Rissbacher and District Administrator Siegfried Wallner on the one hand and the student Sebastian Blattner on the other. Blattner, who runs as the opposing candidate, accuses them of cheating, including the fact that Forestry Councilor Karl Flemisch was invited to a trip to America at the expense of the community when large quantities of gravel were needed from the protected forest. The debate finally culminates in the student being beaten up at a wink from local party chairman Anton Rambold. The next morning, Blattner was found shot dead in his car. A Mauser handgun is identified as the murder weapon.

Commissioners Benno Berghammer and Sabrina Lorenz initially concentrate their investigations on political opponents because the victim wanted to drain the corruption swamp, but one track after the other turns out to be a dead end.

In the Munich student apartment, Lorenz learns from the caretaker that a week ago a pretty woman with a red cabriolet with Tölzer license plates asked about Sebastian Blattner. Until six months ago he was said to have been visited regularly by another lady; however, no traces of it can be found.

When Mayor Rissbacher's alibi bursts because his daughter's friend didn't see him coming home until 12:15 a.m. instead of 11:00 p.m., he admits to the commissioners that he was having a relationship with his secretary Apollonia Perzl. He also railed that Max Blattner, the victim's brother, had been a member of his party for two years and resigned six months ago. He listened to everything and told his brother why Sebastian was so well informed.

Katja Flemisch from the building department emerged as the owner of the convertible, and on behalf of her fiancé, Anton Rambold, she was supposed to persuade Sebastian Blattner to talk to each other. In the course of this questioning, the commissioners discovered an extensive collection of weapons belonging to Karl Flemisch. Berghammer's efforts to obtain a search warrant are unsuccessful because prosecutor Dr. Zirner wants to see evidence first.

Because of irregularities in the election, District Administrator Wallner calls on the mayor to resign, but he refuses. Only when Anton Rambold pressured him at gunpoint and scare stories did Rissbacher sign the resignation.

Max Blattner sets up a memorial cross for his brother at the crime scene. Benno Berghammer discovers a rose on it and suspects that Margret Blattner had a relationship with her brother-in-law. When asked about it, she denies everything. Berghammer accuses her husband Max of murder out of jealousy, but since the inspector has no evidence, he is expelled from the house. When Sabrina Lorenz also comes to the Blattnerhof, the inspectors hear gunshots and rush to the scene. The Blattner's two sons shoot cans with a Mauser they found in the attic. The father also rushes over and admits the murder, especially since the investigators now have the murder weapon as evidence.
