After a flat tire in an open field on their new company bicycles, Hubert and Staller try to ask a farmer passing by for help - but he's hanging lifeless on his tractor seat. Farmer Ernst Poschinger was shot dead, as was a small dog, which must have also been at the crime scene. Hubert and Staller take on the case and stumble upon a village in turmoil. A new wind farm is to be built, and the project's supporters and opponents are irreconcilably opposed. Because the victim led the protest against the planned wind turbines, Frederic Isensee, the local head of the energy company, becomes the focus of the investigation. He had created a buzz for his project with large donations to local clubs and hadn't shied away from personal intrigue. Even Police Commissioner Girwidz is hoping for his support for an energy-saving competition with which he hopes to establish himself as the head of a "model precinct." Meanwhile, Hubert and Staller witness the brutality of the wind power dispute firsthand at a local inn. At the end, it's all fists flying. In this tumult, they get to know one of the opponents involved better: Toni Rissmeyer, the victim's best friend and a fellow protester. Through him, they learn that the people involved in the wind power dispute are all members of the local shooting club. Therefore, several villagers would be capable of shooting someone off a moving tractor. When Hubert and Staller then visit Frederic Isensee in his hunting lodge, they not only get to see the attractive innkeeper from a completely different perspective, they also come across a rifle that Isensee had previously kept secret from them. Did he want to brutally eliminate his fiercest adversary in the wind power field? Meanwhile, station manager Girwidz is constantly bombarding his employees with new energy-saving ideas, which doesn't exactly make the investigation any easier. Moreover, the owner of the shot dog is keeping the entire station on its toes. She has two other animals that are identical to the one shot. And this finally leads Hubert and Staller to an extraordinary idea to track down the perpetrator. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
