Overview

Bernd Rappenglück, president of the Berchtesgaden whip-cracking club, is found dead in the courtyard of his bakery. Just the evening before, the club had celebrated their victory against their rivals from Garmisch at their clubhouse. Did things get out of hand? Ferdi Brandner, one of the whip-crackers, quickly becomes a suspect in Sophia Strasser and Jerry Paulsen's eyes. His possible motive: The refugee Alfons Nkmura, nicknamed Fonsi, was allowed to lead the whip-crackers in the prestigious competition instead of Ferdl. Thanks to the help of Rappenglück and the club's equipment manager, Toni Kainz, Fonsi had quickly integrated, which didn't sit well with everyone.

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.
