action

In their third joint case in the Bavarian-Austrian border area, Major Peter Palfinger and Chief Detective Hubert Mur from Traunstein investigate the murder of the Bavarian sausage king Ferdinand Gschwandtner. He was killed with a knife and found dead in his villa in Anif by Rosa Holub, his housekeeper. Holub tells Palfinger that there was an argument between Ferdinand and his son Rupert Gschwandtner. After the death of his mother and personal and financial problems, Rupert works as a butcher instead of in the executive suite of his father's company. He does have an alibi though .

In addition, one of Ferdinand Gschwandtner's Romanian foster children, seven-year-old Tyki, has disappeared. His older sister Liana's fingerprints can be found on the murder weapon, a kitchen knife. She gives the reason for helping out with the household. For once, Palfinger and Mur are of the same opinion, they are both convinced of the children's innocence.

The widow Nicole Gschwandtner reports that the villa has already been smeared several times by sprayers. She claims to have been at the Wörthersee at the time of the crime . Gernot Lanner, deputy managing director of Gschwandtner GmbH, said he was in the office. The images from the surveillance cameras of Gschwandtner's villa lead Palfinger to Nicolas Bruckner. His father died after consuming a Gschwandtner sausage contaminated with Listeria . Ferdinand Gschwandtner was acquitted in a court case. The defense built on the father's underlying disease, a rare autoimmune disease that is said to have been responsible for the death.

Palfinger learns from his brother Sebastian that there are rumors that Ferdinand Gschwandtner was not entirely innocent in the death of his first wife Waltraud around ten years ago. She officially died in a swimming accident in the Salzach . Foreign epithelial tissue was found under her fingernails, but after no further signs of battle were found, the case was not investigated further. Russmeyer arranges a DNA comparison with the suspects. Shortly before, Ferdinand Gschwandtner met his future second wife Nicole, but Waltraud refused to consent to the divorce.

The investigators also find out that Lanner and Nicole Gschwandtner have a relationship. You now claim to have been together on the night of the murder. Ferdinand Gschwandtner prepared an indictment against Gernot Lanner, accusing him of embezzling company money amounting to three million euros. Liana also tells Russmeyer that Nicole Gschwandtner hit her. Ferdinand Gschwandtner, however, wanted to adopt Tyki and Liana.

On the night of the murder, Mur becomes the first aider in a car accident; a red jaguar approaches him shortly before near the scene of the accident. Liana saw the jaguar at the villa on the night of the murder. The jaguar is later found burned out. The chassis number gives Gernot Lanner as the owner of the Jaguar, Lanner has reported the vehicle as stolen. Fingerprints are found in the vehicle. A database comparison shows that these come from Georg Schachner, an employee in the slaughterhouse who left ten years ago.

In the meantime, Tyki reappears. He tells Palfinger that he saw the perpetrator and therefore took him away, but let him go again. Tyki can identify Georg Schachner as his kidnapper on a photo. Schachner is found hanged a little later, but the autopsy shows that it was not a suicide. Tyki is kidnapped by a masked person, who escapes with the child undetected.

Schachner has a USB stick that is password-protected. Palfinger finds the password on a tattoo on Schachner's arm. A conversation between Schachner and Rupert Gschwandtner is saved in an audio file on the stick . It shows that the sausage king Schachner hired ten years ago to kill his wife. Rupert Gschwandtner found out, blackmailed Schachner with this knowledge and forced him in turn to kill Rupert's father. Rupert Gschwandtner is finally found by the police, Tyki is found unharmed with him.

The film was produced by Satel Film GmbH, Austrian broadcasting and ZDF were involved, and the production was supported by the Austrian Television Fund, the State of Salzburg and the City of Salzburg .

In the summer of 2018, the shooting of the fourth and fifth episodes, which will be called The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and Murder Water , took place in the city of Salzburg and Bad Gastein .

reception

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv found that the film was “an all-round successful crime comedy”, even if the story lived mainly from the two main characters. Michael Fitz as the Bavarian grumbler and Florian Teichtmeister as the bitter major from Salzburg would complement each other perfectly. Above all, the many peripheral ideas would be a great pleasure.

In Germany, 5.87 million people saw the film when it was first broadcast on ZDF , with a market share of 18.8 percent.
