Due to Sven Hansen's sailing holiday and more colleagues' absence, Rosenheim expects a novice new detective: Sebastian König, nephew of Home Office official Dr. Lauser-König. His frugal and modest attitude quickly wins sympathy in the precinct, not so fast with first case mentor Anton Stadler. Funeral undertaker Alfons Jung's corpse was found in his own hearse' coffin. Collaborators Stefan Kolb and Horst Gerlinger are shocked. Widow Sabine may be in cahoots with recently fired Benno Bürgl and had an affair with Kolb, no solid alibi.
