action

The brothers Konrad and Fritz Winterfeld have been enemies for years. Both run their own mink farm in the village and use every opportunity to harm the other. Fritz calls the fire brigade during a party by Konrad, and the party breaks off. Konrad takes revenge by lighting fire frogs in Fritz's mink farm during the mating season and frightening the animals. ABV Dieter Gollnow tries in vain to reconcile both parties. They have been in an argument since their father committed suicide. Konrad's wife had to look after him until she was at the end of her strength. She wanted him to come to the home, and Konrad agreed. As a result, his father shot himself, and Fritz now blamed Konrad for his father's death. Since then there has not been a friendly word between the two, especially since the older Konrad always feared that his brother might be more successful than him.

Fritz's daughter Heike comes to the village and, at Dieter Gollnow's instigation, wants to reconcile her father and uncle, but she too fails. One day she notices that the minks are dying on her father's farm. All 800 animals died within a very short time. Captain Peter Fuchs and Lieutenant Vera Arndt are called because the examination of the animals reveals poisoning. In search of the Winterfeld brothers, the investigators find Konrad stabbed to death on his property. Fritz remains missing and only later appears completely drunk on his mink farm. He has given up, describes himself as dead and does not want to start over. It is clear to him that Konrad poisoned the animals.

In addition to Fritz, Konrad has another enemy in the fishmonger Rüdiger Hempel, as he has a relationship with Rüdiger's wife Anni. Konrad's wife Sabine, who broke up with him in an argument shortly before he was found injured, would also be a possible perpetrator. She claims to have run out of the house with her utility knife and dropped it in the garden. Then she ran to Heike. However, the knife is hidden in Konrad's garden. Traces of fiber on the blade indicate a special pullover type owned by Rüdiger, among others. He testifies that he saw Fritz start an argument with Konrad over the dead minks. Fritz stabbed Konrad in the scramble. He himself then picked up the knife and cleaned it because he did not want the dispute between the two to spread. Fritz finally admits the act. He is shocked when he learns that Konrad did not poison his mink. The fodder meat was stored incorrectly in the poultry slaughterhouse, so that disinfectants contaminated the meat. The mink ate the poisonous flesh and died. The operations director of the Heinz poultry slaughterhouse will not only have to answer for it, but also for the black sale of excess production that Konrad organized for him. Fritz, in turn, visits his brother in the hospital before the investigators take him away.
