While actress Irene Pauli (Maria Schell) was on stage, her husband has been murdered, and her son (not her husband's son) Berthold (Gunther Beth) has been seen leaving the apartment, gun in hand and has since gone into hiding. When Inspector Keller (Erik Ode) and his assistants Grabert (Günther Schramm), Heines (Reinhard Glemnitz) and Harry (Fritz Wepper) investigate, they are confronted with constant assurances from the actress that her son couldn't have been the killer, so much so that they start to wonder how she doesn't seem affected by the murder of her husband at all - which they learn from her sister (Eva Ingeborg) and brother-in-law (Veit Relin), that their marriage was anything but a happy one, and that the deceased might have had some enemies. Berthold calls at his mother's, and he tells him to give himself up but also tells him what exactly to say to the police, which makes Keller and company rather suspicious. Soon, a big manhunt for Berthold's arrest is organized, but Keller insists on not using any firepower, even though the boy's armed. And eventually, Keller gets an idea where the boy's headed and orders his men to leave that route open, then pays a visit to Irene Pauli's costumer Laura Wedekind (Doris Kiesow) to see the actress arrive a short time after. Berthold soon arrives as well but makes a getaway when he notices police is present - but eventually he's cornered - which is when his mother makes a confession (which Keller has long suspected), that it was actually her who killed her husband while her costumer was giving her a water-tight alibi ...

 

One of the tenser episodes of Der Kommissar that perfectly counterpoints the rush of a manhunt with Keller's rather sedate style of investigating, and especially the chase scenes are visually quite accomplished. The only thing that's a little jarring in this episode is Maria Schell's mother-character that never feels real - for the most part for her incredibly stilted dialogue that though seems to endlessly repeat itself without ever getting anywhere - but at the same time, such characters are pretty much a trademark of the series.

In all, a very decent piece of suspense TV, really.
