action
Resi and Benno Berghammer go to the theater. They accept an invitation from Resi's foster daughter Hanna Liebknecht, who is on stage as a member of a touring theater ensemble. Mrs. Berghammer is horrified when she sees Hanna before the performance, because she is only scantily dressed.
Robert Rieber from the "Tölzer Nachrichten" went to the cloakroom in search of an interview partner and finally found what he was looking for in Maria Schranner, who promised him a story that would hit like a bomb. But she doesn't want to come out with it until the next day.
In one scene of the listed comedy, the host (played by Boris Bartholdi) shoots the housemaid (played by Maria Schranner). When it turns out that the actress is really dead, Commissioner Benno Berghammer checks the gun and sees that it was loaded with live ammunition instead of a blank. Since practically everyone from the touring theater had access to the props , the investigation is difficult.
Boris Bartholdi says that he only met Maria Schranner at the touring theater, and that they did not get closer in private. He made an appointment with his psychotherapist in Berlin for the next day; he absolutely had to go there. But Berghammer forbids him to leave Bad Tölz.
Hanna Liebknecht is of the opinion that Maria Schranner might have received the bill for turning the men's heads and not letting anyone touch her.
Harald Berger tells Commissioner Sabrina Lorenz in private that Hanna Liebknecht was jealous of Maria Schranner because she was so well received by the audience. Although Hanna played the main role, Maria was the crowd's favorite, and so Hanna wore less from performance to performance, but that didn't help her either.
The prop master Edgar Huebner, who is in a relationship with Hanna Liebknecht, claims that he is solely responsible for loading the weapon; He rules out any mix-up of ammunition because the touring theater only ever works with blank cartridges. A look at the criminal record shows Commissioner Lorenz that Hübner has some offenses on the kerbholz. In his hotel room she finds a box of live ammunition, hidden in the piano, but no cartridge is missing. When asked about this, he explains that he is a marksman, but because of his criminal record he is officially not allowed to have a gun or ammunition. After he was informed by Hanna about the death of the colleague, he got the live ammunition from the theater.
Robert Rieber receives a hint from the receptionist of the hotel where the theater people are staying that a certain Dr. Engelhard called and asked Maria Schranner, apparently without knowing about her death. The journalist then visits the doctor in the hospital and pretends to be Commissioner Benno Berghammer. Dr. Engelhard informs him that Maria Schranner was infected with HIV ; he does not know the name of the person who infected them.
After the investigations so far have not revealed any recognizable motive for a murder, the commissioners try to find out whether Maria Schranner had a secret lover. In the police station, police officer Anton Pfeiffer shows them the Tölzer Nachrichten with the report on the actress's HIV infection. From this, Berghammer and Lorenz conclude that Schranner wanted to denounce their lover and that he got ahead of her. At that moment Berghammer receives a call from the angry Dr. Engelhard, who wants to report him because of the article, but the inspector is able to convince him that someone has misused his name.
In the meantime, the touring theater has found a replacement for the dead woman and rehearsals are taking place again, but Boris Bartholdi simply cannot pull the trigger any more. Since he is not allowed to leave Bad Tölz, he has his therapist flown in from Berlin. Bartholdi presents him to the inspector as Dr. Handle before.
When Inspector Berghammer learns that Hanna Liebknecht sent rat poison to Maria Schranner because she snatched a leading role in a television series from her, he wants to arrest Edgar Hübner because he suspects that the two have made common cause. The prop master said that there was a second box of live cartridges, but that it was no longer there when he picked up the ammunition from the theater that night. When asked whether she knew von Bartholdi's therapist, Hanna said that he had been on the phone with him all the time and that if he was somehow sick, he would have flown to Berlin; apparently he could no longer live without his therapist. Following a flash of inspiration, Benno Berghammer lets the two of them go and gets more information about Dr. Handle. This is not a psychotherapist, but an international AIDS - luminary . For Berghammer and Lorenz, this allows the conclusion that Bartholdi has AIDS. In his hotel room you will find the missing ammunition box and live cartridges lying around; some of them are also missing. The commissioners rush into the theater, where the scene with the shooting of the housemaid is being rehearsed. The theater director Ruth Alberti is beside herself because Bartholdi again does not shoot, although the therapist has just been with him. Then Bartholdi turns his gun on himself, makes a comprehensive confession and wants to pull the trigger. Thanks to the Commissioner's courageous intervention, the shot missed.
