Original synopsis

Overview

Inspector Frank Thiel is looking forward to an exciting evening of football, Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne is fine-tuning his acceptance speech for the science prize and father Thiel is trying to find his inner balance while fishing at night when a foot stuck in a motorbike boot causes a stir. Prof. Boerne is alarmed: Hasn't he seen this foot with an extremely rare deformity before? The suspicion quickly becomes certain: his former classmate Susanne Clemens was apparently the victim of a crime. Their investigations lead Thiel and Prof. Boerne to the tennis club where Susanne last worked. Maybe it's no coincidence that there was a break-in here. For the young tennis talent Nadine Petri, the excitement comes at the worst possible time. The big tennis tournament in a few days could be her international breakthrough. Her ambitious parents, Ilga and Walter Petri, don't tolerate any disruption to the training schedule. But Thiel is not impressed by that. The search for clues in Susanne's environment also leads the inspector to the "Wotan Wolves", a notorious rocker club with connections to organized crime.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
