action

Veterinarian Dr. Rudolf Boelsen is a misanthrope . He lives separated from his wife Ilse, who left him a year ago. When her parents come to Boelsen's house to get some things from Ilse, Boelsen throws them out coldly. Everything she has ever owned, he bought her so that she was not entitled to anything. He also wants to defend his scientific work. Five years ago he had to give up a scientific career and now has the results of his former research in his hand with the treatise Veterinary Medicine - written by his then superior Professor Siegfried Preckwinkel. Boelsen drives to Hiddensee and confronts Preckwinkel. He asks him to be named as a co-author of a second edition of the work. In addition, Preckwinkel is said to admit his plagiarism in a letter to the publisher. Boelsen wants to visit Preckwinkel again later. However, this does not happen because Boelsen lies dead on the Hiddenseer Ufer the next day. Oberleutnant Peter Fuchs and Lieutenant Vera Arndt come to the island and take over the investigation.

At first it is not at all clear who the dead person is, since Boelsen came to the island without registering. Ultimately, it not only turns out Boelsen's identity, but also that his wife Ilse lives and works on the island. Ilse, who is only called "Ilsing" by the residents, has built up her own existence as a postwoman far from Boelsen. She confesses to Vera Arndt that she is happy about her husband's death. He always treated them as if they were mentally inferior, suppressed them and placed his work in the foreground. The survey of his former scientific colleagues shows why Boelsen became so bitter: he had been researching until five years ago. His investigations, however, lay outside of his actual research area, but could still have brought important results. Professor Preckwinkel took a stand against Boelsen, while his colleagues stood up for him. The comrades in the district leadership were also on Boelsen's side when the technical discussion about Boelsen's scientific future came up. However, he had secretly recorded the discussion and was therefore dismissed. He started working as a veterinarian in the village again and drank.

The fisherman Klaus Barhöft, known as "Kläusing", turns himself in to the police. He admits to having killed Boelsen. He had drunk a lot in a bar, had told Boelsen, who was sitting at his table, about Ilse and that she had a boyfriend. When Boelsen called him "Fischkopp", he got angry and there was a fight. Barhöft believes that he killed Boelsen, even if he cannot remember the act. It turns out that Boelsen also went to Ilse and her friend Günter Rogge - at that time a friend of Boelsen's at the institute - and there was a fight there. During the fight, Boelsen fell down the cliff and hit the stone beach. He was dead immediately. Ilse and Günter wanted to cover up the act and dragged Boelsen's body into the water. They hoped that the current would pull them out to sea and that Boelsen would not be found.

It was the 45th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . First Lieutenant Peter Fuchs investigated in his 27th case and Lieutenant Vera Arndt in her 32nd case. The criticism stated that a "story like the one about the fate of the scientist Boelsen, about the obstruction of his work by the party leadership and by people, the majority of whom were members of the SED, [...] already at this point in a ' normal television films in the GDR could hardly have been made. The genre of tension-related entertainment opened up possibilities that other genres of television drama did not offer if only the actual crime was not politically motivated. "
