Franz Eberhofer resigned to quitting Münich PD back to his native village Niederkaltenkirchen near Landshut as a sanction, living inconspicuously on the family farm, drinking at the pub with local hick mates like butcher Simmerl and heating-cleaner Flötzinger. Granny cooks great for Franz and his Beatles-fanatical deadbeat Vater, left for years by Franz's mother, and alas for brother Leopold with a Thai mail-order wife and baby Uschi, which quiets down only around Franz, plus Franz's steady, wedding-eager girl Susi. Shortly after troublesome reverend and hated school principal Höpfl complained about a death threat graffiti on his home and was atypically absent, police chief Moratschek rules his decapitation on the rail track suicide. Franz doubts that, wriggles out of babysitting the soccer team's African 'star' and starts an informal murder investigation. Then arrives his former Munich partner Rudi Birkenberger, who got Franz suspended, was duly fired and now turned PI, who won't be turned away from meddling as if on the force. Next corpse while they snoop: junkie Marcel, son of recently returned Bruno who left town after knocking up Angie 20 years. Marcel and Höpfl had contact in his cellar dungeon.—KGF Vissers imdb.com
