action
A homeless man who has been murdered is found in a park in Stuttgart, the third victim in a series of murders. The two previous victims were also burned. The police chief set up a special commission headed by Ernst Biencelle. He is supported by the computer expert Hanna Mader. While she tries to organize the investigation, Bienzle questions the homeless in the park, including a woman named Anna. Shortly after the conversation, she is attacked by a man with an iron bar. The perpetrator Andreas Kerbel can be found by the officers in the park.
In Kerbel's apartment, which is on the park, is computer equipment and binoculars aimed at Anna's bench, where she was attacked. Mader manages to crack the program and finds a kind of computer game on the computer in which the park is mapped and all homeless people and policemen who monitor them are precisely registered. Despite the overwhelming burden of proof, Kerbel denies being the culprit.
In the meantime, Bienzel's colleague Arthur Horlacher's alcohol problem is revealed, who has also repeatedly been conspicuous by making derogatory comments about the homeless in the park. His wife Doris turns to Bienzle and his partner Hannelore. Bienzle continues his investigation and speaks to the young homeless Charlotte Fink. This obviously comes from a good family. Her brother, who shows up several times with his obviously right-wing extremist friends, has already tried several times to persuade her to return home. Shortly afterwards, Charlotte appears at Bienzle's home, where only Hannelore is present. When Bienzle comes home, Charlotte makes ambiguous comments about the fact that a policeman could also be the killer.
Before that, Bienzle picked up the drunken Horlacher in a bar and sent him home by taxi. Shortly afterwards, Bienzle met him in the park. The next day, Bienzle confronts Horlacher. In the pub the day before, one of the homeless people let it be known that he was attacked by Horlacher. Horlacher then goes angry. Mader shows Bienzle that the computer equipment in Kerbel's apartment has been destroyed by a burglar. Bienzle goes to Horlacher's home, where he meets the completely broken up Doris. Again he speaks to Horlacher and confronts him with the suspicion of murder. Horlacher denies everything, but gives no further information about his behavior. Shortly afterwards it turns out that Kerbel has an alibi for all the times of the crime.
Horlacher admits that he has a relationship with Charlotte Fink. She learned everything from him about the observations in the park and passed it on to her brother and his friends. Horlacher seeks out the scared-looking Charlotte in the park while her brother and friends are planning an attack. They attack Horlacher with an incendiary device. Bienzle and some homeless people come to the aid of the burning Horlacher. Bienzle takes up the pursuit of the fleeing attackers and is finally able to overwhelm them. Horlacher comes to the hospital seriously injured. The group's fingerprints can be found in Kerbel's apartment, who eventually confesses to planning the murders while the others were carrying them out.
