action

A body of water is found on a campsite by the Alster . Since it is established that the man's hands and feet were tied with tape when someone threw him into the water, the police are investigating. Commissioner Brockmöller appears alone because Paul Stoever is currently attending an English course. Brockmöller persuades his colleagues to suspend the course for a few days in order to ask around undercover at the campsite.

Shortly after Stoever, another newcomer appears at the campsite. Jan Kott rents under a false name because he too heard about the dead man. He was commissioned by the antique dealer Holm to find a valuable stamp album that the murdered Kahlscheid is said to have hidden with him.

Stoever assumes any disputes among campsite visitors and investigates in this direction. In between, Brockmöller informed him that the dead man lived under a false name at the campsite, his real name was Rüdiger Köhler and that the burglary department was well known. This is how they discover that Kahlscheid had stolen the royal stamp collection of Belgium in one of his last break-ins . Since there were two perpetrators at the time, the investigators assume that Kahlscheid betrayed his accomplice and went into hiding with the goods here at the campsite. But since no other stranger lived in the square before the death, this accomplice cannot actually be his murderer. It was not until much later that the commissioners realized that he too became a murderer when he cleared one of the campsite visitors who caught him searching Kahlscheid's trailer and hid the body in the boathouse.

After days of observation, Stoever simply sets a trap for Kahlscheid's murderer. He sends a message to his main suspect, groundskeeper Böhlich, and can then convict him. Böhlich used to be a police officer himself and became aware of Kahlscheid because he immediately recognized the forged ID. He really just wanted to prove something to himself. He wanted to question Kahlscheid and tied him up with tape. When he had left him alone at the jetty, he slipped into the water and drowned.

Although the murder case has now actually been resolved, the question of the missing stamp album and Kahlscheid's accomplice remains for Stoever. He is currently looking for the brands in Kahlscheid's friend Sofie's trailer. When she catches him doing it and Brockmöller becomes aware of him, Kott takes Sofie hostage and threatens her with the knife. Stoever manages to put Jan Kott out of action with a targeted shot in the shoulder. Sofie then hands over the stamp collection that she had hidden to the inspectors.

During the hostage-taking, which all campsite visitors witnessed, it emerges that Sofie's maternal friend Fricka Hackel pushed Kahlscheid, who was tied to the jetty, into the water. She wanted to take the opportunity and free Sofie of this good-for-nothing. Stoever then takes them to the station.
