action
On the evening of April 30th, Resi Berghammer instructs her son Benno to lock away the garden furniture so that it doesn't fall victim to the hustle and bustle on Walpurgis Night. However, the inspector prefers to go to sleep because he found this furniture terrible even as a child. The next morning they actually disappeared, and Resi demands that the police take care of it.
The residents of Untermachtlfing and Obermachtlfing cultivate the custom of mutual stealing of the maypole on the night of May 1st. But this time the dispute doesn't end as lightly as usual: The next morning, Roman Kronsdorfer is found dead. It turns out that he was first run over and then stabbed with a knife.
Commissioners Benno Berghammer and Sabrina Lorenz find out that Florian Auracher, who is chasing Julia Geisreiter, is probably responsible for the accident. While they are interrogating Auracher, a young man appears in the police station to ease his conscience: he accidentally ran over Roman Kronsdorfer - with Florian Auracher as co-driver - and when he wanted to stop, Auracher stepped on his gas foot. Auracher can no longer avoid admitting the hit and run, but he denies the murder.
Julia Geisreiter was the victim's secret lover - secretly because their families have been falling out for 100 years. Julia is pregnant by Roman and asks the inspectors to inform her strict father about it. When they comply with this request, Jacob Geisreiter is furious, but Benno Berghammer and Sabrina Lorenz confront him with his secret affair with the wife of the jealous roast chicken seller Karl Ferstl, whereupon Julia's father gives in.
Finally, the victim's grandfather, Pankraz Kronsdorfer, comes under suspicion because he often sneaks around at night. He admits to having found his grandson so badly injured that he had to "deliver" him. Under the pretext of wanting to wear something, Pankraz Kronsdorfer goes into the house alone and is found hanged shortly afterwards.
Since Resi Berghammer's old garden furniture has not appeared again, Benno is giving her new one for her upcoming birthday.
