action

Katharina Reiff is highly valued by the islanders as their legal advisor. However, it is very difficult for her to indirectly support the small frauds of the people, so that the lawyer repeatedly gets into a conflict of conscience. When she talks to her friend Thies Quedens about it, he advises her to simply switch off. Reiff is actually planning a visit to the mainland with Quedens, but is postponing it because the arrival of the museum scientist Jens Jeschen from Berlin brings her a real legal case. After the last Boßel competition, the islanders published a video on the Internet that not only shows their winning team, but also their Boßel ball. As a result, Jeschen became aware of the sphere and believes that he recognized a medieval celestial globe in it.

Since the islanders do not want to give up their victory ball, Katharina has to intervene. Thies Queden's grandfather found this ball in a burrow 60 years ago and it has been their lucky charm for the islanders ever since. Jeschen also suspects a Viking ship with treasure at the old location of the sphere. Katharina believes him and wants to help him with his research. However, Jeschen has had memory gaps since a fall. That gives the islanders some time, because next Sunday they absolutely want to use their Boßelkugel in the final, which the scientist did not want to tolerate, but which he cannot remember for now. But overnight suddenly the subject of the dispute disappears and Thies is convinced that Jeschen has taken the ball. He now seems to be able to remember everything very well and had probably only deceived the islanders for his protection. Jeschen credibly assures Katharina that she did not steal the bullet. She is impressed by his obsession with science, however, and the search for the suspected Viking treasure is more difficult than expected.

A shifting dune had ravaged the island almost a hundred years ago and changed the subsoil. To make matters worse, Jeschen is now put in jail by policeman Fiete, so that Katharina quickly searches on her own and even alerts Jeschen's colleagues from the museum who want to send a team to the island immediately. The lawyer has to find out that the "gold fever" has broken out among the islanders. It is only with great effort that she can convince people not to destroy the possible site. After the sphere has found itself again, which had only been brought to safety by someone so that Jeschen could not take it away from them, the scientist is released again. However, he does not seem enthusiastic that a whole excavation team has now arrived. Jeschen admits that he must have overshot the mark a little and that there is probably no treasure. Nonetheless, he would like to take the bullet with him on an investigation. Thies comes across some strange things and has doubts about Jeschens and the alleged excavation team. He can convince Katharina that his assumptions are on hand and together they convict the museum people as art thieves.

Then they get their bullet back and hand the criminals over to the police on the mainland. When securing the thieves' transporter, the presumed treasure that the strangers secretly wanted to take away is found. Katharina hands over the valuables to the authorities, but leaves her beloved Boßelkugel to the islanders.

Reviews

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv said: “The fifth island comedy with Tanja Wedhorn is again sympathetic because the script provides a lot of small surprises, but the pattern could use a bit of variety: Once again the heroine takes on a man, the Adversity happens and promptly falls in love with him. 'Katharina and the great treasure' is still worth seeing: the characters are still bizarre and lovable, the actors are well managed, the wintry, wind-blown island images are beautiful to look at and the music is worth listening to. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave only a medium rating (thumbs straight) without comment.
