action

Wolfgang Spann finds a motor scooter driver who has died in an accident. The dead man has neither money nor papers with him, but the owner query shows that it is the ice cream parlor owner Giulio Traghetto. His wife Elena clearly identifies him. Forensic doctor Dr. Robert Sprung discovers that the victim was strangled with a silk scarf. He also noticed that his pockets were turned inside out, as if someone had searched them.

According to Angelo Traghetto, his brother Giulio always took the daily income home with him, this time around 6,000 marks. Therefore, the commissioners Benno Berghammer and Sabrina Lorenz assume a robbery with immediate effect. When they want to find Wolfgang Spann at home, he runs away in his car. After police officer Anton Pfeiffer caught him and brought him to the police station, the money that had disappeared was found under the doormat of Spann's car. He is now forced to admit the theft, but he does not want to have committed the murder.

Commissioner mountain Hammers mother Resi plays in Prelate Hinters theater group, the Miss Marple in Agatha Christie -Stück Murder at the Vicarage and goes into her role so far in that they identified themselves in private life with the old lady and cooks to Benno's chagrin for English recipes. She suspects the mafia is behind the murder and takes Mr. Springer, her long-term pensioner, on an investigation tour. After looking unsuccessfully for Mafiosi in the pedestrian zone for some time, they stop at Traghetto's ice cream parlor, where they witness a conversation between Elena and Angelo. From the snatched snippets of words, they conclude that the two have a love affair and that Elena's daughter Giovanna knows nothing about it - so no mafia murder, but murder out of love disguised as robbery. With this theory Ms. Berghammer and Mr. Springer burst into the interrogation of Wolfgang Spann, but are complimented out by the inspector because he is convinced that Spann was guilty. But my colleague Lorenz can definitely gain something from the matter, because she has observed that Giovanna, the victim's daughter, is limping, which could be due to a fall from the scooter. Benno Berghammer objects that Giovanna has an alibi from her friend Andreas, who wants to have driven her home at the time in question, but Sabrina Lorenz argues that her first lover would have sworn every perjury for her. Then the inspector remembers that at the last theater rehearsal he saw Giovanna burst into tears at a certain scene, and not in an acted way, but real.

Ms. Berghammer and Mr. Springer ask around in the neighborhood of the Traghetto family and find out that Giulio Traghetto regularly beat up his wife and daughter and that his brother Angelo went to his sister-in-law as soon as Giulio left the house. With this new knowledge, Resi Berghammer sends Mr. Springer to the police station; she prefers to avoid her son because she does not want to be thrown out again.

The commissioners learn from Prelate Hinter that Giovanna was usually picked up from the theater rehearsal by her father because he did not want his daughter to be with Andreas; He also admits that the jealous father raised his hand against his daughter. Elena Traghetto, on the other hand, says that Andreas normally brought her daughter home from rehearsals, and this was the case this time too. She heard the scooter stop in front of the house, then Giovanna came up to her bedroom and wished her good night; she always does that. She is silent on the question of what the relationship between father and daughter was like.

When the police arrest Giovanna, Andreas admits that he gave his girlfriend a false alibi. Giovanna says that her father picked her up from the rehearsal and on the way called her a whore, and when she yelled back that she was no longer willing to put up with anything, he pushed her off the scooter and beat her. Then he drove on and she had to run next to him. He said that if he saw Andreas near her again he would kill them both. Then he let her sit up again and drove on. She couldn't help it and pulled his scarf shut with both hands. They drove into the meadow and fell over, then she went home.
