Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl, who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and their three daughters Maria, Johanna and Eva, has been keeping order in Berchtesgaden for decades. To his displeasure, one day he is assigned a new colleague. Until now, the lone inspector has been content to do his work alone. His new colleague, Jerry Paulsen, is the son of a black policeman and the daughter of an innkeeper from Bad Aibling. He is quite courageous and a team player and has moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for love. Jerry's chosen one, however, is Beissl's daughter Johanna. In each episode, two police detectives must solve a murder in the area. Beissl, who has local roots, often knows the victims and their surroundings as well as the possible perpetrators.
