Detective Chief Inspector Stephan Derrick and his loyal assistant, Inspector Harry Klein, solve murder cases in Munich and surrounding areas.

Stephan Derrick is a chief inspector with the Munich police who must solve murder cases with his assistant, Harry Klein. This show is based more on psychological methods to find out who the murderer was than on action scenes or car chases. Derrick prefers to talk to people and learn more about their personalities, so he considers the phone a vital instrument.—Peter W. Simeon <simeon@imdb.com>
