The village's play honoring its resistance to Napoleon's incursion goes awry when the key pistol's blank charge turns out otherwise.

What looks like a fatal accident for a handsome egg and produce seller is shown to be murder most fowl.

Hengasch police work to resolve the who, and when, of a body found preserved in the peat of the swamp. The town of Hengasch is in the middle of a mayoral campaign. Bärbel deals with a life changing circumstance. The Schäffer household adjusts to Dietmar's mother living with them.

It is the day of the mayoral election. Hermann, his singing brother, lies dead behind the Aubach Inn. In his hand he holds a ballot paper that has already been filled out - for Zielonka. Could the murder have been politically motivated? Heike has decided that a new wind should blow in Hengasch and so she supports Jan Schulte, who then wins the election. Zielonka is seething with rage and suspects election fraud, and the whole situation is rather stressful for Dietmar too, because he is caught between a rock and a hard place, or rather between "pussy" and his old boss. Sophie takes care of the case, but she simply doesn't get any further with her research into the men's choir led by Volker Mauck. Finally, Sophie finds out that Hermann's supposed brother Pit was actually his life partner. The two smart sheep farmers had built a new life for themselves as a secret gay couple in Hengasch. Then Hermann started an affair with choir director Volker and Pit got wind of it. Sophie and Kauth are actually back together, even if they pretend to each other that this is not the case. And certainly not to the outside world, because neither of them wants people to gossip about them. Actually, everything would be fine if it weren't for Kauth's slight jealousy of Schulte, who Sophie seems to be very interested in. Bärbel, on the other hand, has decided to have the child no matter what. But she doesn't yet know what to do with Timo.

Holland in trouble. In the holiday park "The Paradise", which is almost exclusively inhabited and managed by Dutch people, the chip shop owner Jaap Mulders lies dead in a pool of "saté sauce". Initial investigations reveal that the mood among the bungalow park residents is rather tense. Lieke, the wife of the park operator van Uffelen, had an affair with the chip shop owner. However, it quickly emerges that Mulders wanted to put an end to the liaison. Was jealousy the motive? Sophie, Dietmar and Bärbel are "supported" in their investigations by Jos de Jong, a retired inspector from the island of Texel. Things are also getting tight for Sophie in her private life, however, because Kauth is apparently finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the new non-committal nature of their relationship. He decides to take the bull by the horns and puts pressure on Sophie by forcing her to make a decision. And that always backfires with Sophie. Bärbel decides against a relationship with Timo, who takes this quite calmly. And for Dietmar, the situation at home is becoming increasingly serious: Heike and Irmtraud constantly urge him to take sides in their respective differences of opinion.

Dietmar has had too much fun at home, so he moves into the guardhouse for a while. The "village witch" Mrs. Rosen says that the long-dead Count of Havelstein appeared to her at his castle. For Hengasch, this means that the prophecy will come true: first darkness, then thunderstorms, then time stands still and in the end death will come to Hengasch. Sophie laughs at the belief in witches. Dietmar and Bärbel are scared. And behold. One after the other, the lights go out in the Aubach Inn, it starts to thunder and the clock at the guardhouse stops. When the death of the countess is then reported at the castle, Sophie begins to investigate. At the castle, Bechermann determines that the dead woman probably had a heart attack. However, the dead woman's wide-open eyes indicate a great pre-mortal terror. When Dietmar finds out that the countess wanted to leave money to the manager Tölke, who in turn is addicted to gambling, it becomes clear that Tölke and the housekeeper Waltraud have been working together. Sophie, on the other hand, is kindly driven home by Jan Schulte after her car breaks down. The subsequent tour of her property ends in Sophie's bedroom, helped by the predicted thunderstorm. Sophie enjoyed the night and would like to continue it, but Schulte realizes that he does not want a relationship. Sophie reacts completely irritated, because she had not even thought about a relationship.
