Police Commissioner Girwidz actually just wanted to do something for his health, but instead, on his first morning jog, he discovers a female corpse. Initial investigations reveal that the young woman had been poisoned and must have had a date with a certain Manni shortly before her death. The search for Manni, however, remains unsuccessful - until dog hair and treats are discovered on the dead woman. This prompts Hubert and Staller to think that Manni could be a Chihuahua the victim had been walking. And since the young woman didn't own a dog herself, the dog's owner was likely the last person to see the dead woman alive. Hubert and Staller launch a large-scale search for the white Chihuahua, which leads them to the Strickler family. The couple recently divorced, and their son Max and Chihuahua Manni have moved out with their mother. And indeed, the dead woman had worked as a dog sitter for Mrs. Strickler. But Hubert and Staller struggle to find a motive for the crime in the broken family. Was Mrs. Strickler jealous of the dog sitter for some reason? Was her son infatuated with the dead woman? Or is Mr. Strickler behind the crime, still accusing his wife of destroying the family with an affair? Unable to make any progress, Hubert and Staller first try to clarify how the perpetrator could have poisoned his unsuspecting victim in the first place. Pathologist Dr. Anja Licht has since found traces of antifreeze in the dead woman's stomach. During the investigation, Staller himself finds himself in acute danger.
