action
The Stubbe family has moved. Since Caroline started her own business and therefore needed space for business premises, the family decided to move into a larger house without further ado. Although Wilfried has not finished unpacking all the moving boxes, his colleague carpenter picks him up for a new case. The widow Elsa Karrow was found dead in a Hamburg apartment building. Erika Westphal is the niece of the dead and apparently, immediately after finding her aunt dead, she “secured” her jewelry, which makes her suspicious for Inspector Stubbe. It looks like the 56,000 marks that Elsa Karrow picked up from the bank shortly before her death are also missing.
After initial research, the widow had regular contact with the clairvoyant Gabriella Sousa. The inspectors visit them and find out that the widow has been waiting longingly for her son, who has not contacted her for years and has been missing since 1994. When Stubbe looks in the police computer, this information that he got from the clairvoyant is confirmed. But research on Gabriella Sousa also shows that she has been involved in three cases of fraud in the past. In all three cases, people were missing whose relatives turned to Sousa but she was unable to help. But shortly afterwards someone reported who supposedly wanted to help these missing people, but always needed a large sum of money. However, after the victims had paid, the missing persons did not show up. Stubbe realizes that an accomplice of the clairvoyant was at work here, to whom Sousa passed on the details about the missing that she had learned from the relatives. Stubbe approaches Gabriella Sousa and explains that it is very likely that Elsa Karrow will be the next victim of fraud, which may have gone wrong. After this encounter, however, Stubbe does not have the feeling that the clairvoyant is in league with the deceiver.
Meanwhile, Stubbe finds out that Elsa Karrow's son Herbert never left Germany. He can track him down and learns from him that he did not trust his mother because he was not as successful professionally as she had hoped. He also claims to be homosexual, which his mother could not have coped with. At the time of the crime, he can show an alibi. On the other hand, Zimmermann finds 56,000 DM in Erika Westphal's son. Stubbe asks the boy and he admits that he always took some money from his mother's aunt. Last time there was this large sum in the cookie jar and without thinking too much he would have taken it all. He states that someone was with his aunt that day and was therefore not noticed at all. In the end it turns out that Brigitta Berger, the clairvoyant's sister, overheard all the conversations with the clients and added her specialist knowledge to the meager salary that she received from her sister for her secretarial services. Disguised as a man, she went to see those affected and collected the money. With the widow the whole thing escalated because she suddenly couldn't find the money in the cookie jar and became hysterical.

The house itself is a rented property in the Hamburg district of Moorfleet , which is located directly on the dike, while the previous one was bordered by a white wooden fence directly on a street. At the beginning of the episode it is also explained that the Stubbe family has moved and that Charlotte has its own entrance to their apartment.
Furthermore, the title designation of Stubbe and ... used until then was abandoned.
criticism
For the critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm were critical: "Leisurely time is the trump card: Where other police officers break cars, Stubbe takes up the chase on his bike." As an overall conclusion they finally drew: "The oracle predicts little tension"; they gave the fourteenth stump case an average score by pointing to the side with their thumbs.
