action

Chief Detective Commissioner Holm Diekmann moves with his family from Hamburg to Schwerin . The moving van is stolen from him in front of his eyes. His future colleague Hinrichs can find the furniture, but the truck was used for a criminal offense and so it is now riddled with bullets. In addition, the Diekmanns have to mourn the tragic death of their old aunt Lena, who, however, left them with the precious painting “Seascape with Girls” by a Rembrandt pupil.

Holm Diekmann would like to sell the painting in order to use the proceeds to repair the roof of his new home. Since his wife refuses, Diekmann, on the advice of his new colleague Hinrichs, takes the picture to an art forger, who buys the original and makes a copy. Shortly thereafter, however, this copy is stolen. When the perpetrator finds out that it is only a fake, he kidnaps Diekmann's daughter in order to blackmail the publication of the original picture. Diekmann has to admit his deception to his desperate and angry wife and get the original picture. He seeks out the art forger and buys the picture back. The kidnapper calls in and Diekmann hands over the painting, but without receiving Jessica in return.

Both perpetrators and victims are amazed to find that the original picture was only a copy. The kidnapper insists on the original picture and Diekmann suspects Egon Pistor, his wife's cousin, of having exchanged the picture while his aunt was in hospital. Research shows that he is already in the process of selling the original to a Japanese art collector. Before that happens, Hinrichs and Diekmann can intervene and arrest Egon Pistor. They even suspect that Pistor helped in the old lady's death by deliberately causing a short circuit in the house that the heart-sick woman did not survive. To find out, the corpse is exhumed and pathologically examined. The result clearly proves that Aunt Lena died of an electric shock. They confront Pistor with the facts and so he admits that the aunt wanted to disinherit him after she noticed that he had exchanged the picture.

Since Diekmann now has the original picture, it should be provided with a tracking device and given to the kidnapper. The investigators are led to a boathouse, where an exchange of fire breaks out. Jessica can be released and the picture secured. One of the kidnappers is shot dead, a second escapes undetected.

Ellen Diekmann then donated the painting to a museum, as the heirloom only brought her bad luck. There you find out that it is a real Rembrandt and the founder receives a very high compensation. That night the thief tried to steal the picture one more time. Hinrichs and Diekmann can provide Alex Zucker in the act. He had already come to his aunt's funeral as a guest to secretly look around for the picture. His wife is the niece of the professor, who at the time wrote an expert report on the picture. While her uncle had not discovered a hidden signature, she could guess the true value of the picture and, together with her husband and an accomplice, had tried to get the valuable painting at any cost.

While searching for the truck thieves, the two investigators were able to convict a farmer and his son.

background

The whereabouts of Commissioner Groth, who was absent from Die Macht und Ihr Preis for reasons not specified, is explained in this film: Kurt Groth, like his actor Kurt Böwe, died; Hinrichs visits his grave. Groth's trademark, a bag from GDR times, now hangs on the wall in Hinrich's office.

Jürgen Schmidt appears regularly for the first time alongside Uwe Steimle in the police call after he represented Kurt Böwe in Die Macht und Ihr Preis . However, his character was given a new name and is now called Holm Diekmann instead of Robert Dieckmann. Jens Hinrichs determined for the 16th time.
