Das Totenschiff

A butter boat on the Danube: the entertainer Rolf Gembel (Max Tidof) straightens his hairdo, puts the obligatory flower in his buttonhole and hopefully heads towards the stage in order to sell as many blankets as possible today.

Suddenly there is a new clue to the case: Ellen's landlord Max (Tilo Prückner), who is in the clinic of Dr. Sion to observe his heart, tells of an intimate encounter between Anne Kehring and Dr. sion When detective Lucas finds out that some of the victims at Dr. Sion was being treated and she gets in touch with his father (Hans-Peter Hallwachs), who vigorously propagates the right to a self-determined death, things start to move in the case.
The situation escalated when shortly afterwards the body of the nurse Toni Kehring was fished out of the depths of the Danube. When Greta Wache breaks her silence, light comes into the darkness of the case...
