action
It's already a terrible tradition: every Friday the 13th, a member of the von Eulenstein family dies. This time the lord of the castle, Herbert, was found dead in the pavilion of the castle's own garden. Obviously, the murderer carried the old man into the afterlife by means of a high voltage current. Marcell von Eulenstein, son of the murdered man and main heir, instructs the detective Engelbert Fox to investigate the case.
As a result of his investigation, in collaboration with his loyal friend and helper Dagobert Fix, he soon comes across a prime suspect. It's about an ominous scientist named Prof. Cardallhan who seems a bit bizarre and confused. Fox and Fix find out that Cardallhan is in fact related to the Eulensteins and, as required by Adel, intended to kill one relative after the other in order to finally acquire the inheritance themselves.
