En route to work, Eisner suddenly stumbles upon a police operation—a double suicide has occurred.

Batic. „ A gmahde Wiesn “ means in Bavarian both „ a mowed meadow “ and colloquially „ a project that cannot go wrong “ - „ a surefire thing “. And „ die Wiesn “ is of course also the synonym for the Munich Oktoberfest, the largest folk festival in the world. As every year, showmen and Munich hosts are preparing for the race for the coveted places. The violent death of the influential city councilor Hubert Serner (Bruno Graf) is therefore an issue in the city: Serner's assistant Diana Aljescu (Anita Matija) found the lawyer in his garden pond.

A professional was at work here. Police officer Gerd Samland was murdered in a brothel with two well-placed shots. Was Max Ballauf's friend and colleague actually a regular at this establishment?

He takes over the case from the homicide squad.
