action

Chief Detective Siegfried "Sigi" Riedmüller, freshly transferred from Regensburg to the state capital, introduces himself to his new colleagues from the homicide squad, Chief Detective Wislitschek, Detective Augenthaler and the secretary Gerda Bleyfuß. The officers get to work straight away, the prostitute Erna Dornmüller has been murdered, Wislitschek has already had her pimp Tino "von" Zembisch arrested, but he is self-confident in the interrogation and claims to have an alibi. In the evening, the driver of the Pausinger transport company, Herbert Gollasch, is attacked and knocked down by his accomplice Franz Pausinger, the unemployed brother of his boss, at a rest area, the accomplice escapes with the van and new cars loaded on it. Franz Pausinger hides the transporter in the workshop of the master mechanic Riebl before he returns to the restaurant to play cards with his friends so that they can give him an alibi. Gollasch is found slightly injured by a driver and Riedmüller is informed, but Gollasch is not yet able to be heard.

Regarding the Dornmüller murder case, Riedmüller receives a visit to the Presidium the next morning from the Viennese pimp and car dealer Hubert Eichstätt and his girlfriend Daisy Orlando. The two claim to have been with Zembisch at the time of the crime in a café. In the other case, Gollasch later explains to Riedmüller in the hospital that he could no longer remember the attack. In response to Riedmüller's allegation that he has a criminal record for stealing a car, the latter denies being involved in the robbery, and his boss, Joseph Pausinger, also considers his employee to be unsuspicious. Gollasch secretly runs away from the hospital in the evening and goes to his favorite bar, where he asks about his accomplice Franz Pausinger, but he is not there, Gollasch is watched by his other brother, Werner Pausinger, who is also unemployed. Meanwhile, Joseph is put under pressure by creditors, he explains to them that he expects a larger amount of money in the next few days. Gollasch visits Franz that same evening and meets his brother, his boss Joseph Pausinger, who he didn't know was involved in the deal. In addition to his share, he demands money from Pausinger for his silence, the next morning Herbert Gollasch is found shot in the van allegedly stolen during the robbery. The officials immediately conclude that Gollasch was involved in the attack and that his accomplices eliminated him.

Meanwhile, Franz delivers the stolen cars to Hubert Eichstätt so that he can legally sell them. Eichstätt sells the cars en bloc to the Yugoslav Istvan Carabordovic, who wants to bring them across the border abroad in the next few days, meanwhile Riedmüller and his team have found out that Franz Pausinger has a relevant criminal record. The officers look for him, but he presents them with his alibi from his card game friends. Meanwhile, Daisy Orlando seeks out Anton Augenthaler and tells him that she thinks her partner Eichstätt is suspicious of murdering Erna Dornmüller, that Dornmüller used to buy things for Eichstätt and that he beat her. The next morning Joseph Pausinger receives an anonymous ransom note, he should pay DM 100,000, otherwise the police would be called in. He and his brother Franz decide to get involved in the blackmail and then set a trap for the blackmailer. Assistant Augenthaler, who is shadowing Eichstätt for the Dornmüller murder, discovers the stolen limousines in his car dealership that Carabordovic has not yet picked up and notifies Riedmüller. Inside, Eichstätt is attacking his partner Daisy and injuring her with a knife because she went to the police. Augenthaler can arrest Eichstätt before anything worse happens. The Pausinger brothers pursue the man who picks up the suitcase; he turns out to be one of Franz's card game friends. He says that he sent the money in a taxi to his unknown client and that he did not know who he was blackmailing.

Together with his colleague Kaulbach from the theft department, Riedmüller can determine that Riebl has faked the vehicle documents for the stolen cars, and the officers arrest Riebl, who has a criminal record. When traces of Gollasch's blood are found in Riebl's workshop, Gollasch confesses his collaboration with the Pausingers and wants nothing to do with the murder. Joseph and Franz are arrested that night, but the two of them have agreed beforehand and each confess to have committed the murder alone and without help. Riedmüller finds out that Joseph was blackmailed, and he notices that Werner has suddenly become self-confident after always emulating Joseph. Riedmüller obtained the release of both brothers from the judge in order to be able to convict them. Upon release he mentioned that Werner had been more self-confident since his brothers were arrested. Riedmüller has the brothers observed, this does not go unnoticed by the two of them, the Pausingers can quickly shake off the officers. While Riedmüller and Wislitschek rush to Werner, his brothers confront him. He confesses to his brothers that he was the blackmailer, he followed Gollasch from their local pub and watched Franz shoot Gollasch. Franz then wants to kill his brother because he suspects that Werner would not be able to withstand an interrogation. At that moment, Riedmüller and his colleagues, who had overheard the conversation between the brothers, arrive and arrest Franz.
