The building contractor Max Claudius breaks up with his house banker Robert Malberg and his sister Veronika after a business dinner. In the past, "Claudius AG" alienated many investors with a rapid drop in share price. A little later, Max Claudius is shot on the driveway to his villa. 16-year-old Lisa Hirlinger and her older brother Michael go out together in the evenings: cinema, ice cream and disco are all popular. On the way home, they find a gun near their house. That same night, the young farmer's wife Mila misses her husband on the Moosbach farm. The farmer Benedikt "Ben" Moosbach lost the farm he inherited in a stock deal with "Claudius AG". Shortly after he sold, the land was advertised as building land. Ben feels betrayed.
The death of her brother, the CEO of "Claudius AG", confronts the heiress Veronika with new decisions. Together with Max' personal assistant Albert Potter you look determinedly into the future. Max was a "philanthropist" and there can be no question of a conspiracy against small farmers and investors. The new S-Bahn line is to be built on the acquired land.

The Munich detectives Franz Leitmayr, Carlo Menzinger and Ivo Batic follow the money trail in their investigations.
Where was Secretary Potter? What are Veronica's interests? She hands them a video: Ben Moosbach publicly accused Max of fraud and physically attacked him during a shareholders' meeting. At Moosbach's abandoned farm, officers find a jammer and a balaclava in the garbage can that were used in the murder of Max Claudius. Where did Benedikt Moosbach hide the murder weapon? When the commissioners want to arrest the suspect, Moosbach flees. Leitmayr wants to stop him with his gun, but he hesitates a fraction of a second too long. Completely surprisingly, Batic and Leitmayr are dismissed from the case. Police Director Huber tells them that the wanted Moosbach has obviously staged a bank robbery with hostage taking,
The bank robber holed up in the Malberg bank. One of the hostages is Lisa Hirlinger. A special task force takes up position. The bank robber demands money and a getaway car. In this precarious situation, Franz Leitmayr can be exchanged for a hostage in order to persuade Moosbach to give up. The situation in front of the bank is coming to a head. The Police Duties Act applies. Detective Director Huber gives the order for the final rescue shot. The course of the situation is programmed.
