For a week now, Mandy Schulz (Helmuth Lohner), a playboy and local celebrity, has been receiving threatening phonecalls, and tonight, the caller actually threatens to shoot him dead later tonight. So he, with a blonde (Evelyne Kraft) on his arm, his bodyguard Erich (Dieter Prochnow) and his wingman Willy (Peter Fricke) by his side for security, dashes home, but before long he's shot dead from outside through his bedroom window. Inspector Keller (Erik Ode) and his team (Günther Schramm, Reinhard Glemnitz, Elmar Wepper) soon start to investigate and by the by pick up traces, the most promising of which leads to a former girlfriend, Elisabeth (Donata Höffer), who committed suicide in his garage after Mandy ditched her, and it turns out her brother Albert (Andreas Seyferth) is still living in her apartment in Munich despite running a shop in the countryside. After a bit of questioning, he admits he has followed Mandy around after his sister's death - which was easy to do because Mandy had never met him and thus didn't know what he looked like. He was also behind all the threatening phonecalls to Mandy including the one announcing his imminent death. Albert even owns a handgun and hands it over to Keller and company, for them to determine it hasn't been fired in years thus can't be the murder weapon. Of course, it could be that Albert has a second weapon ... but then it turns out that DM 50,000 have gone missing from Mandy's apartment, and suddenly Willy, who left shortly before Mandy was shot, becomes the chief suspect, with Erich his possible accomplice, and even though there's not a shred of evidence against them, Willy gives everything away by trying to bolt and drawing a gun on a police officer in the process.

 

A rather lively episode with many nightclub scenes and thus also then-popular music, and even some sexy bits and (not entirely successful) attempts at satire. That said, there are also writer Herbert Reinecker's trademark stilted dialogue and poor understanding of both psychology and police work, but really with Der Kommissar that's almost part of the game, and if the episode flows alright actually adds to its charm, to make it not exactly good crime TV but an amusing piece of nostalgia.
