action
The return of the successful golfers to the stately home is not only viewed with suspicion by the housekeeper. The landlord declares his love for the golfer Elisabeth Sobeke on the way into the house and gets a slap in the face. In the background, a stranger disguises himself and unlocks his weapon. Meanwhile, Elisabeth Sobeke speaks to the notary Kirchbaum on the mailbox regarding a change of will. She hears noises in her house and sees her husband leave the house. He plays backgammon with great intensity with the president of the court .
A woman falls into the water at a weir. Charlotte Mayer pursues this and throws a lifebuoy into the water - unfortunately in vain, the corpse drifts away. Attorney Dr. Louis Sobeke files a missing person report for his wife Elisabeth with chief detective Klara Blum and her colleague Kai Perlmann and points out an alleged relationship with the industrialist Volker Weyrauch. Apparently she wanted to end the relationship. The inspection of your personal environment shows no abnormalities.
Then a female blonde is found on the shore of Lake Constance, who is believed to have got caught in a ship's propeller. Volker Weyrauch, Louis Sobeke's friend and Elisabeth's golf partner, had an appointment with tax advisor Bechtle on Sunday evening. He denies the relationship with "Lissy" and is in a hurry to get to an appointment with the Kunstverein, since a vernissage is coming up. Blum orders Weyrauch and Sobeke into Charlotte Mayer's studio, who clash there. Both should then identify the dead in forensic medicine. Volker Weyrauch refuses and Dr. Louis Sobeke cannot recognize the body as his wife. Blum suspects that one of them drove his sports boat over the victim several times. The evidence points to Weyrauch's boat, but his alibi is confirmed by his tax advisor.
Charlotte Mayer describes her view of what happened in which a man pushed the woman into the water. Your rescue efforts were in vain. She cannot confirm that it was Elisabeth Sobeke, but that the man Dr. Sobeke was. Your statement seems very fickle, which is also becoming increasingly clear through the on-site appointment. Suddenly the housekeeper seems to have recognized Ms. Sobeke during an evening walk, but she turns back after speaking on the heel. The search remains unsuccessful. The DNA analysis finally provides confirmation that the dead woman is actually Elisabeth Sobeke.
The gambler Sobeke celebrates with Mayer that the commissioner cannot prove anything to him. Then the self-doubts prevail again - but that is only part of his vision. He is giving up his law firm and has booked first-class flights for himself and Mayer to New York, but subsequently canceled Mayer's place. She admits her relationship with Sobeke to the police. Only a simple trick can get Sobeke to confess.
