But suddenly they discover a body in the hotel's mud bath. Manager Ute Thoma is shocked - the dead woman is her twin sister Ulrike, with whom she runs the renowned hotel. The first accusations of guilt are circulating: Reinhold, who works at the hotel reception, suspects Robert Jung, Ute Thoma's new boyfriend. Jung had a heated argument with the murder victim the night before. But Robert has an alibi for the time of the crime. Then masseur Mark Werth is forced to explain: In his locker, Hubert and Staller find work clothes with clear signs of a struggle from the crime scene. Mark Werth protests his innocence and assures the police that someone must have planted the clothes on him. Hubert and Staller find it difficult to believe the masseur, as he had recently received a warning for bad behavior. But the evidence is too thin to keep the masseur in police custody. But then the case gets a new lease of life: Ute Thoma receives a threatening letter. Hubert and Police Commissioner Girwidz trust their investigative instincts: Mark Wert isn't capable of such audacity. They are convinced that another person from the hotel's immediate vicinity must be the perpetrator. Girwidz orders Hubert and Staller to provide on-site security. The two, not particularly pleased, check into the "Lake Oasis." It quickly becomes clear: Hubert and Staller don't always find it easy to keep their focus on the essentials in this wellness world. And when they aren't distracted by the pleasant temptations of the wellness offerings, journalist Nadine Scholz throws their investigations into a complete mess. Ultimately, it is their clumsy colleague Martin Riedl who, by chance, puts Hubert and Staller on the right track: The perpetrator is obviously playing a double game. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
