One evening when arriving home from work, inspector Keller (Erik Ode) is shot at - nothing serious, but a sign that someone is after his life. Now of course, this troubles everyone, his assistants (Reinhard Glemnitz, Günther Schramm, Fritz Wepper) as well as his secretaries (Helma Seitz, Emily Reuer), but none more so than his wife Franziska (Roesemarie Fendel). And since Franziska is disappointed by the police's progress in the case, she decides to investigate on her own, and from one of his husband's secretaries (Emily Reuer) gets a tip that leads her to Diebach (Harald Juhnke), small-fry crook and police informer, who doesn't want to have anything to do with the affair - and yet it doesn't take him long to feel sympathetic for the woman, and despite him knowing this will lead to trouble for himself, he gets her in touch with Leppich (Gert Günther Hoffmann), who is of course tipped off by the arrival of Franziska, and when he's out to warn whoever-it-is, Diebach helps Franziska break into his apartment - where they find a definite clue who might be behind the assault on Keller ... but are then caught by Leppich and menaced at gunpoint.

Meanwhile Keller's assistants have found the bar from which the assailant has made a call the previous night and get their hands on Rosse (Klaus Löwitsch), who acts just too suspicious to not be guilty of something.

Ultimately all situations are resolved happily, only the assailant's still on the loose - and it's revealed only at the very last moment that he has rented a room directly opposite Keller's house to finish what he failed at the day before ...

 

Now there's plenty in this episode that's quite simply too far-fetched - from the whole thread about Keller's wife's investigations to Keller's assistants finding a clue playing pool, and even the resolution of the whole thing -, but these shortcomings are actually what make this episode fun to watch, even for all the wrong reasons. But what really stands out (for all the right reasons) in this episode is Harald Juhnke's performance as a character torn between his own best interests and what's the right thing to do. He really nails that one and really rises above the material as well as the rest of the cast - and he sure makes this episode memorable.
