action
At a family celebration, a dispute breaks out in a family business, the Hofer textile factory , because the patriarch of the family, the aged Bernhard Hofer, prefers the younger grandson. Erik Hofer is now to follow him instead of his older brother Konrad. The newly appointed successor is soon found dead. So the investigators Schürk and Hölzer first look for the motive in this conflict before digging deep into the company's history and stumbling upon the trail of a former forced laborer : the then so-called “hard-working Lieschen”, now long widowed. Erik Hofer was not only an unfaithful husband, but he had also amassed gambling debts. The owner of the betting company is temporarily under suspicion. The soft-hearted Konrad, secretly living as a gay, had helped his brother out of the debt trap, but he beats him that night. But neither the brother nor the betting shop owner is ultimately the culprit. In fact, shortly after Konrad had run away, Erik kicked the dog of the passer-by Lida violently. Thereupon she grabs her stick and beats Erik, who falls unhappy and dies. The angry old woman gives the dead another 60 symbolic strokes of the stick. Therefore, the photo of the deceased brings the old Hofer back to their perpetration: It looks like revenge for the 60 beatings that were given to the brother of old Lida, also a slave laborer, and killed him in times of war. At the same time, the investigators were able to reconstruct this old case from the company's files. They arrest the "hardworking Lieschen" (Lida), who confesses.
The inspectors Adam Schürk and Leo Hölzer have known each other since childhood, when they met in a schoolyard brawl. In flashbacks, the viewer experiences moments of a difficult childhood Schürks: his father beat him, Hölzer became his savior by stabbing his father down.

Reviews
"The fact that the current 'crime scene' about violence and counter-violence is now just as relentlessly heading towards its topic, despite all the initial difficulties, is the best that could have happened to the Saar district after the Striesow follies of recent years."
“Das industrious Lieschen” by Christian Theede and Hendrik Hölzemann (book) is an ambitious crime thriller, which, however, groans a lot under the weight of its density of events. Occurs more often in debut episodes. The tear-off calendar knows: Every beginning is difficult. After that it gets easier sometimes. "
“Anyone who generally distrusts the fine people and at the same time always had reservations about a certain professional group (no, not gardeners), is like the two investigators on the right track. "If you find the dog, you will find the perpetrator", despite all the gentle misleading and complicating the criminalistic plot, that is beautiful, solid crime wisdom. "
