After a conference, businessman Doberg (Siegfried Lowitz) persuades his
colleague Rudek (Ernst Schröder) to pay a visit to a certain Derrick
(Skye du Mont), who runs a private brothel with very young girls. At
Derrick's, Rudek finds out that one of the girls is his daughter Ursula
(Ilona Grübel) - which comes to him as an utter shock as he, a man of
wealth, has always well provided for her and thought she was nothing but a
innocent schoolgirl. And now he fears a scandal. Of course, he quickly
leaves Derrick's place, Ursula in tow ... and the next day, Derrick turns
up dead, his head beamed in. Since inspector Keller (Erik Ode) is out of
town, his men (Reinhard Glemnitz, Günther Schramm, Fritz Wepper)
investigate, somehow get Domberg's address, and Doberg has no choice to
eventually spill the beans on Rudek. Rudek confirms the story of course
but insists he had nothing to do with Derrick's murder, but then neighbour
girl (and Ursula's best friend and fellow prostitute) claims she saw Rudek
leave his house again that night after bringing Ursula home, and
eventually, Rudek admits he has come back to face Derrick and beat him up
badly - but insists he hasn't killed him. For Keller's men, that's as good
as a confession, but then Keller finally returns on the scene, and he
pulls neighbour woman Luise (Edda Seippel) out of the hat, who has
actually delivered the lethal blow to Derrick, as a revenge since her
husband (Klaus Schwarzkopf) has for a time visited Derrick and his girls
quite regularly ... An episode that has it all: A far-fetched
story with some slightly sleazy undertones, incredibly stilted and
over-written dialogue, characters that act and react totally unnaturally,
and a very random solution to the whole murder mystery. This all amounts
to anything but a good crime drama, but it's everything you've by now come
to expect from Der Kommissar, and as such it's just fun
nostalgia.
