A dark day for Hubert and Staller: They witness a young man being run over right outside the station. The driver flees, and any help comes too late for the victim. Hubert and Staller suspect murder because the perpetrator neither braked nor swerved. The investigation is in full swing: The victim had most recently worked as a driver for the bus tour operator Wolfgang Schreiber. When the search for a missing pensioner also leads to this bus company, the investigators have their first hot lead. The pensioner had apparently regularly participated in Schreiber's bus trips. Unfortunately for station chief Girwidz, food poisoning confines him to a hospital bed, forcing him to lead the investigation from there. Without his uniform, not only Hubert and Staller don't take him seriously, but also potential witnesses. But Hubert and Staller receive a tip from Girwidz's roommate: The murdered man may have been working as a driver for Schreiber on secret coffee trips. And by all appearances, something terrible must have happened during one of these sales events. To gather solid evidence against the organizers, the two investigators persuade Police Commissioner Girwidz to participate in Schreiber's next coffee trip disguised as a pensioner.
