Undercover - finely dressed as waiters in the elegant revolving restaurant in Munich's Olympic Tower - the three Munich inspectors Ivo Batic, Franz Leitmayr and Carlo Menzinger ambush a former nurse: Johannes Peter Peschen is said to have killed twelve people. It was Leitmayr's idea, following an anonymous tip, to intercept the suspect in the highest restaurant in Munich - not to the delight of his two colleagues. Especially with Batic, who suffers from an annoying stomach upset, Leitmayr gets into such a fight over the questionable action that the two friends break up! But suddenly the inspectors are very close to their goal: when no one believes in it anymore, Peschen takes the lift to the lookout point.
Franz LeitmayerSees his strategy confirmed and triumphs when he arrests Peschen and handcuffs him. But suddenly the ex-carer pulls the inspector into the waiting elevator. The elevator leaves – and gets stuck at a height of 80 meters. Batic and Menzinger found out via the emergency phone that Peschen had given Leitmayr an injection. After that, contact with him breaks off. It remains to be seen whether Batic and Menzinger will succeed in freeing their colleague from the death trap in their nerve-wracking race against time. The rescue measures that have been initiated are getting out of hand, and Batic also makes serious accusations that he had fallen out with Leitmayr like never before just before he disappeared into the elevator with the creepy orderly.
