Overview

Baron Clemens von Mahnfeld is shot dead in his forest while hunting. At first, noblesse oblige seems to be the order of the day in this case. Nevertheless, Beissl and Jerry discover that the relationship between the deceased and his brother Reinhard was not the best, partly due to inheritance disputes. Cousin Markus also comes under the investigators' scrutiny. He has been poaching in the castle forest for some time. When Jerry notices that the deceased's wife, Monika von Mahnfeld, may have been a victim of domestic violence, she becomes the prime suspect. But it is only when Jerry manages to gain the trust of Monika's young son that the detectives are able to look behind the facade of the castle and solve the case. There is also a lot going on in Beissl's private life. Beissl's eldest daughter Maria wants to move out, and in the end it is Jerry who makes this happen, much to Beissl's chagrin.

About the show

The series revolves around Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl (Andreas Giebel), who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and their three daughters, Maria, Johanna, and Eva. Beissl has been upholding law and order in Berchtesgaden for decades. Much to his annoyance, he is one day assigned a new colleague. Until now, the solitary inspector has preferred to work alone. His new partner, Jerry Paulsen (Peter Marton), is the son of a Black GI and a landlady from Bad Aibling. He is quite daring, a team player, and moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for love. However, Jerry's love interest happens to be Beissl's daughter, Johanna. In each episode, the two police commissioners must solve a murder in the area. The locally rooted Beissl often knows the victims, their environment, and potential perpetrators.
