Der Bulle und das Landei

Major robbery in the Eifel region: On a sunny morning, a cash transport vehicle is attacked on a country road near Monreal. The two perpetrators, one tall and one short, steal €600,000. Both were masked, but wore police uniforms and used the Monreal patrol car as a cover. No wonder that the investigating LKA officer Melanie Marschall immediately targets the provincial police officers Killmer and Kati. The two have no alibi and are the only ones with keys to the getaway vehicle. To make matters worse, the perpetrators' masks are found at Killmer's house. In view of this overwhelming evidence, Killmer and Kati's energetic protests of innocence are of little use—they are not yet arrested, but they are suspended from duty. Their colleague Ralf, on the other hand, is recruited by Marschall to secretly monitor his superiors and gather further evidence against them.

Brave or reckless? Kati Biver happens to encounter the armed burglar who has just robbed the safe of jewelry designer Marianne Dobrinth and tries in vain to stop him. She then proudly gives a description of the perpetrator. Killmer, on the other hand, finds such a maneuver—off duty, unarmed, and without his escort—utterly reckless. He makes this clear to her. So clear, in fact, that Kati can only be appeased by a heroic act on Killmer's part: After taking statements from Marianne Dobrinth, her son Johannes, and her young lover Tonio Berger, he invites Kati to dinner. It turns out to be a wild evening. At least, that's what Killmer assumes when he wakes up the next morning in an Elvis costume, still drunk, and with a complete blackout in Kati's bed.

Mayor Drömmer has big plans. The 95th birthday of his predecessor Karl Wolter is a welcome occasion for a lavish celebration that will also draw attention to him, the political grandson of the great Monrealer. Before the joyful event, all that remains is to get Killmer and Kati through their divorce proceedings. The two have stubbornly stuck it out for a year of separation, with police tape across the apartment helping to keep them apart, and now not even Grandma Biever can prevent the divorce from finally going through. Yet she is still convinced that her Kati and Killmer are so well suited to each other. So it suits her that the divorce is interrupted by an emergency call: Wolter is dead, murdered by tampering with his stair lift. And so Kati and Killmer rush to the scene of the crime, still as a married couple.
