action

Sigi Möller and Kalle Küppers are patrol officers in the Bergisches Land . Your office is in Volpe, where major cases are not to be expected. One day old Elisabeth Kampnagel appears at the office. She has felt persecuted for some time, has nightmares, keeps receiving calls that no one answers, and receives threatening letters anonymous. Now her dachshund Garibaldi was poisoned and had to be redeemed by her friend Albert with a coup de grace , for which Albert uses an old pistol from the Second World War. Elisabeth brings the dead dog to the office and Sigi promises to take care of the case. The dog was actually killed with rat poison . Sigi is present when Elisabeth is called again. However, the caller turns out to be an insurance agent. A young man who escapes from Elisabeth's cellar at the sight of the investigators is again Daniel, the nephew of Elisabeth's godchild Arno Wollner.

Sigi is about to close the case when he and Kalle are called into a boutique. Here Elisabeth claims to have been immorally touched by a strange man. The man turns out to be a homosexual waiter, who also rejects any accusation and wants to file charges against Elisabeth. Sigi is assigned to take Elisabeth to the psychiatric ward. The neurologist confirms that Elisabeth was paranoid and that she was probably never able to fully process the time of Gestapo detention during the Nazi era. The allegations are nothing more than a struggle for attention. Elisabeth is left home, but is to be immediately admitted to a home with psychiatric care. Suddenly Elisabeth's godchild Arno Wollner and his brother Bertold appear on the scene. Arno is heir to the house in which Elisabeth still lives; however, the owner had contractually promised Elisabeth a lifelong right to stay in the house. Now Arno and Bertold are already planning to sell the house.

Arno and Bertold receive threatening letters in which both are accused of a deal with "SM"; they should pay hush money. A short time later, Arno is shot in his apartment. The investigation in the murder case is carried out by Gabi Bauer from the homicide department. Indeed, she suspects a murder in the scene, since Arno was homosexual and had gambling debts. She stays with Sigi and sleeps with him. In the meantime, Sigi had doubts about Elisabeth's insanity. He believes that both the insurance agent and the grabber were bought in the boutique to challenge Elisabeth's statements. He learns from Mayor Huffer that Volpe is the target of the major investor Schreiber-Mehling - SM - who wants to build an amusement park here. However, this is kept secret so that the land can be bought up cheaply. It turns out that Kalle is involved in the case, as he has a relationship with Bertold Wollner's wife Claudia. At the time of Arno's death, Bertold was not with her as Claudia claimed when she was questioned, as Kalle spent the time with her. Kalle and Sigi write another ransom note to Bertold, in which they describe him as Amos' murderer and determine a meeting point for a money handover. Bertold, however, is found dead on the evening of the meeting. He still has the weapon in his hand - a weapon from World War II. Since the Schreiber-Mehling group was dismantled by investigators in Cologne on the morning of his death, BKA investigator Weber from Cologne suspects that Bertold took his own life as a reaction to this.

Sigi is sent to Cologne with the results of the investigation as well as the case and projectile from Bertold's weapon. He exchanges the cartridge case for the one found on the dead Garibaldi. The shells came from the same weapon that Arno was shot with. Arno and Bertold's projectiles are also from one weapon, so Arno and Bertold were killed with the same weapon that Garibaldi was shot with. Albert states that he left the weapon with Elisabeth for her protection. At first Sigi believes that Daniel committed the murders, because he is attached to Elisabeth and hated his father. However, Daniel was proven to be a singer at a concert in a murder. Sigi notices that there is a bus stop not far from where Bertold's body was found - a bus driver remembers that Elisabeth got on the plane that evening. Elisabeth admits to having killed Arno and Bertold because they both had them terrorized in order to get them out of their house as insane. With a heavy heart Sigi brings Elisabeth to the police, because he has taken the old woman into his heart. Elisabeth returns to him shortly afterwards - they didn't want to listen to her and they weren't taken seriously. She eventually goes away with Sigi.

The Frankfurter Rundschau also praised the film: “The view from the provinces, which wipes out the arrogant metropolis, was wonderfully resolved here.
