action

While the detective chief inspectors Schimanski and Thanner are interrogating suspicious drug addicts because of a murder, the general practitioner Dr. Waldorf, who accuses industrialist Baumgarten's chemical works of knowingly driving an employee to his death. Since the two officers do not consider themselves responsible, they get rid of him and Waldorf leaves the office disappointed. But the next day, Dr. Waldorf found dead, apparently shot. The autopsy reveals that his neck was broken and that the shot was intended to fake suicide .

Schimanski examines Dr. Waldorf's practice and meets his office hours assistant Jacky Ruhl. When the inspector finds a bank key, the young woman tries in vain to make it disappear. In the bank compartment, Schimanski finds a dossier about the river boatman Kaiser, who died of cancer , the origin of which, according to Dr. Waldorf's record lies in the dumping of toxins into the Rhine . Hänschen informs himself about measures to determine Rhine water pollution from the water authority. Schimanski uses this information to a skipper in the act to catch. He claims to be acting on behalf of Baumgarten. Baumgarten is confronted by Schimanski and Thanner with the allegations.

Jacky Ruhl appears surprisingly at the station and wants the dossier from Dr. Waldorf for a cancer research institute. When Schimanski and Jacky visit the Kaiser's widow, the inspector gets a look at the ship's log. While Schimanski is having dinner with Jacky, the police discover Baumgarten's body and the said file of Dr. Waldorf in his apartment. Jacky is suspected of murder and admits that he was Baumgarten's lover. She procured the files for him in order to be able to win a possible trial with certainty. Baumgarten had killed Waldorf in an argument and faked his suicide. But at the scene of the crime, Schimanski recognizes the smell of lavender that he had already smelled on Kaiser’s ship. He intercepts his widow on the Rhine and she admits that she murdered Baumgarten in revenge for her husband's death.
