action
The supervisor Erwin Burger, with the wounded auxiliary hunter Christian in tow, wants to file a complaint with Benno Berghammer for attempted murder and also demands personal protection for his people. The two hunters are certain that one of the sons of the Schaller landlord fired the shot because they have been poaching for a long time. Since there has been no death so far, the inspector passes the matter on to police officer Anton Pfeiffer.
Erwin Burger soon felt humiliated again when a stag was killed before his eyes. For him there is only one question: Sepp Schaller, whose booty will soon be on his menu. It also makes Burger suspicious that his daughter Maria is of the opinion that Sepp would never do something like that.
The next day, a dead man with a blackened face is found in the forest, equipped with all kinds of poaching utensils. Commissioner Sabrina Lorenz recognizes in him the star chef from the Schaller landlord, Sepp Schaller. A quick check of the hunting assistant Hias Leitner's weapon shows that it is clean.
At the Schaller landlord, the inspectors only meet the assistant cook and Alois Schaller, the victim's stepbrother. He advises them to hurry up with the investigation, otherwise his father could catch the murderer in front of the police.
They then pay a visit to Erwin Burger's “Zur Post” inn. The innkeeper denies the fact, but believes he has the right bullet for the gun that was found on the dead man. He cut the projectile from the poached deer.
Next, Berghammer and Lorenz have Erwin Burger take them to the hunting lodge of the hunting owner Franz Wegener. The building contractor and mayor is amazed when he learns that the fourteen-man was shot, which was intended for a business friend. The commissioners take Wegener's weapons with them for inspection.
When Ms. Burger asks her husband whether he has anything to do with the murder of Sepp Schaller, he indignantly denies the act. Suddenly window panes were shot and Igidi Schaller, the victim's father, asked Erwin Burger to come out and explain to him why he shot his son. Burger leaves the house unarmed and tells Schaller to shoot him after all, if he's not too cowardly. When he finally asks Schaller to duel, he pulls away. Mrs. Burger wants to alert the police, but her husband forbids her and says it is for his honor; he'd rather be shot than make a fool of himself again.
Meanwhile, ballistic tests on Burger's guns show that none of them were fired. In addition, the seized projectile from the deer matches the weapon that was lying next to Sepp Schaller's corpse.
The commissioners learn from the Schaller family's assistant cook that Sepp had a secret relationship with Maria Burger. But he doesn't think that anyone else knew about it, because otherwise there would have been murder and manslaughter long ago.
Berghammer and Lorenz meet the victim's parents looking for clues in the forest. The Schallers assume that the weapon was pushed under their son. He had neither a gun license nor a weapon. They don't want to believe that their son had something with Maria Burger. Erwin Burger is also furious when he learns that his daughter was in a relationship with Sepp Schaller and says that it is just right that he is no longer alive.
Examination of the projectile that killed Sepp Schaller shows that it is made of an alloy that was made over a hundred years ago. Guns with which one can fire such projectiles are practically only available in museums, reports police officer Pfeiffer, such a hunting sock was recently reported as stolen. He disappeared at a weapons exhibition and heard Erwin Burger. The insurance company paid 50,000 marks. The weapon was a gift from King Ludwig II to Erwin Burger's great-grandfather.
Alois Schaller wants to win Maria Burger for himself; During the night he knocks on her bedroom window and requests entry. He is the only one who can stop his father from killing her father. But she doesn't want to know anything about him and sends him away.
The next morning, Ms. Burger found the head of a twelve-fender with a threatening message on the front door. Erwin Burger again demands personal protection and wants to file a complaint against Igidi Schaller, but Berghammer refuses both, whereupon Burger angrily leaves the police station.
Erwin Burger learns from his hunting assistant Hias Leitner that a figure eight has been shot and left lying there. The supervisor regards this as a declaration of war and drives away in a rage to join in as Berghammer and Lorenz. Leitner gives them vague directions to Burger's destination. On the way there, they discover the Schaller landlord's car and drive after him to a hut. Although the commissioners see Alois Schaller going inside with a rifle, he denies having weapons. Berghammer received a message from police officer Pfeiffer via cell phone that Erwin Burger had been shot a quarter of an hour ago. The commissioners arrest Schaller and search his hut, which contains a butcher's shop and an arsenal of weapons.
At the police station they confront him with a recently fired weapon, but he claims he doesn't know it. Sabrina Lorenz accuses him of having killed his brother with this weapon; it was the hunting sock reported as stolen. Schaller also denies having shot Erwin Burger together with his father. At least he admits to having killed the last two deer and nailed a deer's head to Burger's door.
Erwin Burger was lucky: the bullet only hit the butt of his rifle and hurled it against his head. A brief loss of consciousness and a laceration were the consequences. Burger instantly recognizes his missing hunting sock.
In memory of Sepp Schaller, Prelate Hinter addressed a few words to the assembled congregation at the Sunday service, when Igidi Schaller shouted down from the gallery to Erwin Burger that someone like him was not needed in church. He had his Sepp on his conscience and wanted to take away his second son as well, by trying to blame him for the murder; he hid the murder weapon, Burger, in the hut.
While searching for the photo of her murdered lover, Maria Burger finds a button in the box under her bed that belongs to her father; She discovers the photo in the glove compartment of his car. When she asked whether he killed Sepp, she got no answer. She desperately tries to stop him when he gets into the car with a gun and drives away.
Maria Burger asks the commissioners for help because she fears that her father will harm himself. Berghammer and Lorenz begin their search at the Schaller landlord, where they learn from his wife that their husband had phoned Erwin Burger half an hour earlier and then drove away rather excitedly without saying where to go. Since Mrs. Schaller finds out that her husband's gun is missing, the commissioners fear that Erwin Burger and Igidi Schaller want to duel.
When they arrive at the place Sabrina Lorenz suspected in the forest, the opponents face each other and they hear Burger confess to having shot Sepp Schaller from behind with a weapon that he stole from himself and finally hid in Schaller's hut . Now he can safely shoot him because he can be sure not to get the wrong person. However, his son Alois would then stay in prison because then it would never be found out who the real perpetrator was.
The commissioners appear and assure Igidi Schaller that they have heard everything. He said everything would be fine then. But Burger replies that this does not apply to him and raises the gun, whereupon Schaller shoots him. A check of the dead man's gun reveals that it was not loaded, i.e. that Burger staged his suicide.
When Mayor Wegener appears at the police station to collect his confiscated weapons, Benno Berghammer says that he is basically innocent, but one of the weapons is not registered. He definitely wants to be mayor again. So he suggests auctioning this weapon and donating the proceeds to a good cause. Wegener is reluctant at first because the good piece cost 15,000 marks, but when the inspectors assure him that the matter is settled with it, he gives in, but would like a donation receipt.
