The dead body of a teenaged girl, Inge (Barbara Brustmann), is found at
the bottom of a lake, and eventually inspector Keller
(Erik Ode) and his team (Reinhard Glemnitz, Günther Schramm, Elmar
Wepper) learn she's a teen runaway who has skipped her hometown together
with her best friend Franziska (Katharina Seyferth). Franziska's father
Danner (Heinz Reincke) comes to town and tries to find his daughter on his
own, fearing for her life, understandably, which Keller is not too happy
about, so he sends his assistant Erwin (Wepper) to accompany him. In the
meantime, Keller and company find out about Franziska's boyfriend Achim
(Bernd Herberger), who seems to know more than he's telling, but clearly
is afraid of something or someone - and eventually it's found out that he
was badly beaten up in front of a brothel not long ago. So Danner and
Erwin pay a visit to the brothel, and while they can't find Franziska,
they notice everybody at the club knows more than they're saying. So
Keller orders a big raid, and ultimately Franziska is found - only Bender
(Wolfgang Wahl). the owner of the brothel, obviously Inge's killer,
escapes, and now he wants to kill Achim - for reasons not really known.
But Achim musters up enough courage this time around to knock out Bender,
only moments before the police arrive for the arrest. Actually
a rather entertaining episode, even if it doesn't make perfect sense - to
the point where we never learn why Inge was murdered, and why Bender is
the obvious culprit. Also, Heinz Reincke as the worried father hams it up
quite a bit, and he's not at all helped by screenwriter Herbert
Reinecker's trademark stilted dialogue and his ability to make his
characters do silly things. But despite all of this, this episode flows
rather nicely and makes for a fun watch.
