action
The nursery owner Anton Berger is attacked and murdered one night. Shortly after the crime, his lover Maria discovers him and sees the murderers driving off on a motorcycle, but also disappears from the scene of the crime himself before the police arrive.
During the investigation, the inspectors Batic and Leitmayr meet the building contractor Reisinger, who claims to be a partner in the nursery and is currently working on the landfill project nearby.
The dead man had a large amount of cash in the house, so that robbery is out of the question. Exposed flight tickets for two people lead the investigators to Marie Zell, who was registered with him for a trip to Florida. In their search for her, they come across the pimp Sandler, who is already on record for brutal murders. So Batic tries to find out more about Sandler and whether he might be a candidate for Berger's murder. But Sandler initially has a watertight alibi . But Batic can finally find Maria, who admits to have been with Berger on the evening of the crime, but to have found him dead.
Leitmayr is taking a closer look at the building contractor Reisinger. According to Carlos' research, the neighboring landfill is to be expanded and a sewage treatment plant built, for which additional land is needed. So the area of the nursery would be of interest for this. While Leitmayr has another look around the nursery, he starts talking to one of the employees. He says that there have been various people with whom Berger had conversations lately. But Reisinger is also constantly negotiating with various entrepreneurs about the building land that is needed for the new projects, and an almost impenetrable network of bribery, corruption and price fixing emerges. Perhaps Berger did not want to adhere to it and was therefore moved out of the way.
Batic can now prove that Sandler's alibi is faked. In order to arrest him, he has to carry out an extensive pursuit, but shortly before the target, Sandler is shot by an unknown person. When the investigators want to look around Sandler's office, they meet Reisinger's assistant Karl Schweitzer. The ambitious employee arouses the suspicions of the commissioners, but they have nothing against him. That changes when Batic discovers that he is Berger's illegitimate son and that after his death he would inherit the nursery, which is worth tens of millions due to land speculation. When Schweitzer found out that his father wanted to go abroad with Marie with the money from the upcoming sale, he prevented that with the murder and together with Sandler. Schweitzer shot him so that he couldn't betray him.
Batic and Leitmayr are able to track down Schweitzer and arrest him.

Reviews
“Not a film for the liberal mind: Full of hunting zeal, the Munich crime scene inspectors [...] use the frighteningly perfect network of surveillance cameras in the Isar city subway stations to catch a suspect. But behind this there is no ideological intention of the director Josef Rödl, but rather his fascination for the interplay between capable monitor images and magically illuminated camera views into the underground tunnels. Pleasantly businesslike, Nemec and Wachtveitl do their TV crime services without baroque frills. "
