action

Radio Uptown reports live from the Auer Dult , a "popular entertainment older than the Oktoberfest", and particularly points out that even Karl Valentin comes from the Au. Meanwhile, a somewhat pinched gentleman, who gives the impression of being a messenger, wants to deliver a package to Ms. Burger. The neighbor takes it from him. With a huge bunch of keys he finds entry into Veronika Burger's apartment, where he listens to music and records his observations and actions in a dictation machine . The aquarium seems to have particularly impressed him, because he puts on a diving mask and dips his head into it. A message on the answering machine puzzles him because it is about a secret visitor. After deleting this message, Veronika Burger comes home from work earlier than usual and the intruder takes refuge in the gallery of the apartment. The strange visitor at home discusses his dictation machine with descriptions of the dead Veronika Burger. He removes all of her notes and photos from his wall.

Chief Inspector Franz Leitmayr is moving into the neighborhood with colleague Batic when they are called to the crime scene. There she expects her colleague Menzinger, who is amazed at the strange water corpse, because Veronika Burger hangs upside down in the aquarium as if decorated. However, she was beaten to death with poker. Nothing was stolen. Your friend, Jean-Claude Bartl, is desperate and at a loss. Ms. Burger's neighbor describes the courier and gives Leitmayr the - empty - package. At the same time, the secret visitor hallucinates encounters with a little boy, his drowned son. Anita Mecke, who had warned Veronika Burger about the "perverse sneak" on the phone, reports to the inspectors that he must have fed the fish in the aquarium because the intended neighbor suddenly had to go to the hospital during Burger's vacation.

Bartl tries in vain to gain access to Burger's safe deposit box with a forged authorization. Meanwhile, Leitmayr has the police psychologist explain the motivation of the phantom, a so-called foreign resident: He feels like a shadow, a ghost that only becomes a person in strange apartments. The inspectors find 50,000 francs in the locker that was rented three months ago . They could have come from a severance payment Veronika Burger received from her former boss, Dr. Wilfried Manz, supposed to have gotten. However, he allegedly dismissed the deceased two years ago because of irregularities and paid no severance pay. He gives a plausible alibi for the time of the crime. Shortly afterwards he receives a threatening phone call from Bartl and the next morning he is found dead in his car. There are tons of pills and alcohol on the passenger seat. Bartl is brought to the station and says that Dr. To have been Manz's private address, but he was already dead. The police station receives an anonymous letter from which it emerges that Bartl is not Veronika Burger's murderer, but that she was killed by a couple. The woman is said to have taken photos. The details of the letter suggest a silent observer, obviously the phantom.

The commissioners can determine that the artist Ana Gramm, whose exhibits in the notary's office Dr. Manz, who recently became the heir of her rich father, who is said to have last said: "I no longer have a daughter." Manz and Veronika Burger put on record. However, the wills do not differ significantly, which leads the commissioners to conclude that the notary has restored the will to the original version after Veronika Burger was dismissed. Manz and Gramm also had a sexual relationship. The commissioners wonder if Burger got wind of the forgery and first blackmailed her former employer and then the heiress. Startled by the police investigation, Ana Gramm checks the photos of the crime scene and recognizes the foreign resident in a reflection of an aquarium glass. The viewer learns that, together with her colleague and childhood friend, Richie Freisinger, who is on record, she was responsible for the deaths of Veronika Burger and Dr. Wilfried Manz is responsible. Josef Pieringer, the foreign resident, calls KHK Leitmayr after learning from the pharmacist Bernie that the inspector also lives in the house. Leitmayr learns that the couple's husband is not Dr. Manz was and points out to Pieringer that he himself is in danger. The persecution of Ana Gramm, who remembers the murder witness from a press photo, leads to a newspaper archive. There Batic finds an article on microfiche about Anna P.'s suicide on the Isar and a reference to Josef P.'s violation of his duty to supervise little Ernstl.

When Leitmayr wanted to check Josef Pieringer's apartment, he was knocked down by Richie Freisinger, who was waiting there for the tenant. Freisinger escapes in good time from the Batic who is arriving and runs into Pieringer in front of the house, who does not go upstairs in his apartment due to the light from the inspectors, but instead thinks his wife's jump from the Zenneck Bridge with a backpack filled with sand with a backpack filled with sand to empathize. Ana and Richie come up to him on the bridge, he can catch a knife with his backpack before Leitmayr and Batic arrive in time.
