Overview

Johanna is sulking. She wanted to surprise Jerry with a wellness weekend for two, but he has already made plans to go climbing with a friend. That's why the news of the violent death of cheese factory boss Sebastian Wiese comes at such an inopportune moment. The young manager was stabbed to death. Cheese farmer Fonsi is kneeling at the scene of the crime with the possible murder weapon in his hand. The day before, Fonsi had been particularly vocal in the cheese farmers' dispute with Wiese over the new, worse contracts. Inspector Beissl likes him. Sophia and Jerry aren't the only ones wondering if their boss is now biased. Max takes his time with Fonsi's identification. The circle of suspects is growing. Almost every one of the 15 dairy farmers had a motive. The chairman of the dairy farmers' collective, Manuel Schwaiger, seems to have downright hated Wiese and regrets his investment in a new milk truck. Schwaiger's wife Alma is puzzled by anonymous calls to her worry hotline. It's a good thing that Schwaiger's colleague Peter Bichler is there to support the couple with advice and assistance. However, the analysis of Wiese's computer reveals a new lead that leaves his assistant Daniela Seidl struggling to explain. And then one evening, Jerry opens his door and can't believe his eyes...

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.
