The ghost train belongs to Ms. Triburicek, a rich businesswoman on the Prater who has been in a relationship with the much younger and dodgy Erwin Brauneder, who is known by everyone as “Sir”, for some time. Four weeks after Riacherl's suicide, Erwin is shot in the ghost train. Inspector Pfeifer interrogates Ms. Triburicek, who is shocked by the death of her partner, and tells him that he was also the manager of her various businesses. Fichtl learns from Triburicek's employee Hupferl of Riacherl's suicide four weeks earlier. Ms. Triburicek indicates to Pfeifer that the other business people in the Prater envied her success and that they could all be the perpetrators. Schulz and Hollocher question the other Prater transport operators, Erwin was not very popular there. A ride operator tells Hollocher that Erwin was assaulted with a knife and injured a few months earlier.

Gegenbauer also had an eye on Mrs. Triburicek at that time. Hollocher also learns that a Sylvia Prabitz was angry with Erwin and threatened to revenge him. Mrs. Triburicek admits to Pfeifer that she knew about it, but believes that it was not Sylvia, but her pimp who could have committed the murder. Hupferl tells Schulz that there was a "second scene" in the Prater, which was about blackmail and in which Erwin was hated. In the meantime, Hollocher has found out that Erwin allegedly had to do with protection money. Pfeifer seeks out Sylvia, who can show that her pimp is on cure and therefore has an alibi. Meanwhile, Hollocher asks one of the business owners who was blackmailed by Erwin, who denies everything, but Hollocher finds brand imitations with him, which he sells secretly. Thereupon he gives Hollocher a reference to another business owner named "Ferdel", who is said to have paid protection money to Erwin, through Ferdel he in turn learns about other business operators who are said to have firearms and who were also blackmailed by Erwin.

Inspector Schulz meanwhile maintains an anonymous tip that the murder weapon is hidden in the depot of the ghost train. Fichtl and Schulz actually find a possible weapon in the depot, where Schulz meets Eva, who tells him that she wanted to go on a trip with the Riacherl and that he had become rich. The laboratory analysis confirmed that the rifle was the murder weapon, and the shooter was obviously wearing work gloves. Fichtl and Schulz meanwhile tell Pfeifer about the travel plans of the dead Riacherl with the young Eva, Pfeifer instructs Schulz to investigate the clue. Shortly thereafter, Pfeifer provisionally arrests Tomaschek and his employee Adolf Breitner, whose fingerprints were found on the rifle.

Meanwhile, Schulz finds out that Riacherl won a considerable sum of money in the pool at the “Super Zwölfer” and that he had picked up this amount. Fichtl and Schulz go to Hupferl, whom they suspect of having Riacherl's money, Hupferl is clueless. Councilor Putner considers the investigations in this direction to be wrong and accordingly reprimands Pfeifer because Tomaschek and Breitner had to be released because of their proven alibis. Meanwhile, Mrs. Triburicek calls Pfeifer over because an expensive car is being delivered to her that Erwin had ordered while he was still alive and which she knew nothing about. Pfeifer has the car confiscated. Pfeifer and Fichtl think about the case together, they realize that Erwin must have somehow got hold of the money from Riacherl, he couldn't have afforded the expensive car from the protection money. You take on Hupflerl, who still denies knowing about Riacherl's profit. Eva tells Pfeifer that Hupferl of course knew about the money. When Pfeifer asks Hupferl about Erwin's murder, Eva wants to confess to the murder, but Hupferl interrupts her and confesses in turn. He claims to have killed Erwin because the Riacherl took the money. He tells the officials how Riacherl told him about his winnings and how he made big travel plans. "Sir" Erwin found out about the win because of Riacherl's talkativeness and then ingratiated himself with Riacherl. Erwin suggested a business to Riacherl and promised him a partnership in one of the shops in the Prater that the two of them could take over together. Riacherl then handed Erwin 100,000 schillings in his good faith.
When Riacherl realized that Erwin had cheated on him and confronted him, Erwin mocked him and threatened to play to the police that Riacherl had fornicated with Eva with a minor and that he would ensure that Riacherl received a long prison sentence get.

Meanwhile, Eva Hollocher confesses to the murder outside, she found the weapon that Hupferl actually got in the ghost train and then fatally shot Erwin three times.
