action

KHK Max Palu and his new colleague Gregor Blass are late for the ice hockey game of the relegation-threatened Saarfalken , where Ingrid and her new friend Marcel have already taken their seats, and almost missed the opponent's lead. In the catacombs of the stadium, film recordings are made and suddenly the club secretary Elke Gotier goes down. About 110,000 marks are missing from the open safe. The suspicion quickly falls on the Canadian professional Johnny Mathieu, who is in a form crisis and was friends with the (pregnant) dead. The dead woman felt more drawn to the association's board of directors and building contractor Baumgärtner, who ran a few dodgy ventures and was therefore open to blackmail.

After two break-ins at Elke Gotier and Sabine Zimmer and a mysterious death in France, Palu is undercover in the fan scene. And indeed: this leads to the missing 100,000. Treasurer Stegner, in front of whose eyes the desperate building contractor Bering took his own life, explains to Palu and Blass the awarding of construction contracts and charges Baumgärtner the puller. He kidnaps Sabine and demands the ominous red folder that Elke suppressed and that documents all the crooked deals. Elke and Sabine wanted to do something together: Baumgärtner is blackmailed and Sabine publishes everything. The pregnancy ruined the deal and Sabine kills Elke in affect .
