Hubert and Staller find the body of pool cleaner Markus Greben in the swimming pool of nightclub owner Bert Joschek. Was it an accident or even murder? Pathologist Dr. Anja Licht must first determine that. Meanwhile, Hubert and Staller begin their investigation, which proves more difficult than expected. A fall into the pool with its extremely high chlorine content and the botched treatment by the landlady Sandra Joschek temporarily caused Hubert to lose his sight. With an opaque eye bandage, he is now helplessly at the mercy of the caring Staller. Bert and Sandra Joschek soon emerge as the prime suspects in the murder. The victim's widow has long suspected that her husband had an affair with Sandra Joschek. That Bert Joschek murdered Greben out of jealousy seems increasingly likely. If it weren't for Augsburg real estate speculator Reinhold Lohse. Not only was he in contact with the murdered pool cleaner, he had also suggested to Police Commissioner Girwidz that he rent his converted feed factory as a new police station. Much to the horror of Hubert and Staller, who already imagined themselves sitting in an open-plan office with Riedl and Sonja Wirth. How advantageous it would be if real estate speculator Lohse actually turned out to be Markus Greben's murderer. But Lohse has disappeared. And then Sandra Joschek torpedoes Hubert and Staller's perpetrator-victim construct: Using a gas receipt, she destroys her husband's alibi. He denies murdering Markus Greben, believing instead that his wife wants to get rid of him. Hubert and Staller put Riedl on the case. Disguised as a crime scene cleaner, he is supposed to get to the bottom of the bored and promiscuous Sandra Joschek.
