Stubbe und die Killer is a German television film by Christa Mühl from 1997. It is the tenth film in the ZDF crime film series Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall with Wolfgang Stumph in the title role.

action

Inspector Wilfried Stubbes is driving to the office in the car with his young colleague Kay Klowe when suddenly the news of a bank robbery arrives. Immediately they rush to the aid of the officials, who are attacked by two armed bank robbers . When they leave the building with two hostages and shoot their way free, Kay Klowe stands protectively in front of a child. He is fatally hit. Wolf Rühl, one of the perpetrators, can be arrested while his accomplice escapes with one of the hostages. Stubbe takes the whole thing very much and his wife Caroline wonders how long it will be until one day an officer stands in front of her door and she receives the news that her husband will never come home.

The search for the fugitive bank robber is initially unsuccessful. On the basis of clues, the officials assume that the bank employee Sebastian Bösche worked together with the perpetrators and is now disguised as a hostage with the second bank robber on the run.

To prove Wolf Rühl the fatal shot turns out to be more difficult than expected. Not only does the latter deny having shot, he tries to accuse Stubbe of false testimony through his lawyer. In addition, Stubbe's wife receives a threatening letter intended to intimidate her. As if that weren't enough, Stubbe's daughter Christiane is approached by a fake officer who allegedly wants to bring her to the station. It is thanks to Christiane's cleverness that this planned kidnapping failed. For the safety of his family, they are temporarily quartered in a hotel.

Sebastian Bösche is now found shot. Stubbe believes the suicide note, in which he accuses himself of being responsible for the fatal shot at the policeman, is implausible. He suspects that Rühl's son is the accomplice and has a search for him. Meanwhile, events are coming to a head. Rühl's lawyer started a press campaign against Stubbe and an attack was carried out on the police officers' car. But that's not all, Rühl's son presses his father out of custody. While the police respond to all demands so as not to endanger the lives of innocent people, Stubbe succeeds in playing father and son off against each other. When Rühl had to hear from his son that he shot Sebastian Bösche because he thought he was helping his father with it, he asked him to give up, which he did.
