action

This time Wilfried Stubbe and his colleague Zimmermann have to solve the death of the pensioner Dunker, as his wife Elisabeth adamantly claims that her husband was pushed down the stairs. Stubbe herself initially assumes an accident and does not consider the pensioner to be taken very seriously. She accuses the real estate agent Wessel "of being after her house". Stubbe looks around at the accused, who looks quite serious to the inspector. In the will of the retired couple, the Ankerplatz eV association , which looks after old seafarers, is named as heir . Stubbe cannot rule out that the association wanted to hasten the death, but he cannot find any evidence for this, as he can with the real estate agent. A third suspect is the fashion star Nino Grosser, who was often seen at the house of the Dunkers and had behaved a little strange. Stubbe's superior Gessler remembers an incident in the past in which Nino Grosser was violent.

One night, Elisabeth Dunker feels threatened and calls the police. Since she can't help her, she also calls Stubbe, who gave her his card in case of emergency. He, too, still doesn't take the old woman seriously and doesn't want to deal with the matter until the next day. But he gets scruples and still makes his way to the Dunker Villa. When he arrives there, the garden pavilion is ablaze and Stubbe cannot exclude an intention that someone wants to drive the old woman out of the house. He even agrees with Zimmermann that the choleric big man is the most likely candidate. Elisabeth Dunker meanwhile wants to take matters into her own hands. She plans to lure Wessel to her place and give him her opinion. That turns out to be difficult, however, because the police now provide her with personal protection and she is hardly alone anymore.

While Wilfried Stubbe is busy with his case, his daughter Christiane spends her free time at the Ankerplatz eV association. Actually, she just wanted to ask for a training room for her dance exercises there, but then found pleasure in working with the elderly. She proudly presents her father with photos that she took there. Surprised, he discovers in a photo the convicted Guido Schwartz, who seems to be friends with the director of the association, Sophie Hiller. He then asks Christiane not to go there for the time being. Sophie Hiller is not only friends with Schwartz, she has also drawn Dunker's neighbor Jan Petersen to her side. He has very good contact with the Dunkers, which she tries to take advantage of to get to the villa. He was supposed to scare “the old man”, which then escalated. Now she has given him a tablet to give Elisabeth Dunker. Christiane overheard these plans by chance, who, despite her father's request, went back to the club. Schwartz suddenly takes her hostage when the police show up. Stubbe is horrified when he has to watch helplessly at the danger his daughter is in. With luck, Christiane can free herself and now reports on Sophie's plans. Stubbe rushes to the Dunker Villa and arrests Petersen there, who, however, could not do anything against the clever old lady because she had already figured out his plan.
