action

A new tourist attraction is to be opened in the Bad Tölz district: "Sioux City", a western town that Andi Stadler built together with others on the property of his rich father, the farmer Karl Stadler. When Resi Berghammer had her son Benno take her there to apply for the catering trade, the inspector discovered a dead man grazed under a tarpaulin. It's about Karl Stadler, who did not die from the injury, but from a heart attack.

The investigations reveal that Karl Stadler had a falling out with his sons Andi and Marco as well as with his second wife Margret. The latter only married him for the money, and her daughter from a previous relationship has never set foot in the Stadler's court. Marco, who wants to renovate his run-down disco, has been blown away from his father with a request for financial help, and Andi is outraged that he was first dismissed as a weirdo, but then had to pay the lease when the project was finished.

From the victim's ex-wife, Inspector Berghammer found out that 20 years ago Karl Stadler raped Lisa Hartl, who was 14 years old at the time, who is now performing as a singer in Sioux City, and then paid her a kind of severance payment of 10,000 marks. Their friend Stefan Rohrmoser, for whom this thing is new, also has a motive.

Margret Stadler watches at night how her stepson Marco breaks into her stable and hides a rifle, but pretends to have noticed nothing. When Marco Stadler's discotheque is searched, to his astonishment, the same weapon reappears in his office. Since it is a commercially available door lock, it cannot be clearly proven that Marco Stadler himself hid the rifle there.

Benno Berghammer gives police officer Anton Pfeiffer the task of investigating the family background of Karl Stadler's second wife. When Pfeiffer arrives with the result and the inspector reads what Margret Stadler's family name used to be, everything is clear to him. He picks up the groom Sandra Billing from Sioux City and brings her to Stadler's farm. In front of her mother Margret Stadler, formerly Billing, the inspector arrests Sandra, who admits that she deliberately scared Karl Stadler to death because he had bullied the whole family; she did it for all of them. Margret Stadler admits to having told her daughter during a phone call that evening that her husband wanted to take a tour of Sioux City after dark.

background
