Rentnercops

Das Würfelspiel
Just-graduated buddies Thilo, Jannek and Gordon Gremberg get drunk and high from a 'mystery cocktail' in a Cologne nightclub. Next morning Thilo's corpse lies by the road, after a beating and fatal fall. Gordon is on intensive care for his OD trip, with a broken foot having jumped off the Mülheimer bridge. Jannek's mother hesitates letting the cops question him in bed, apparently believing his bones all disappeared, but he's taken to the precinct to indicate where the knaves could have bought the drugs or be spiked. Edwin and Günter are surprised that intern Hui Ko, who knows much more about such poison, refuses to go undercover in the club, even more why, but even they prove good bait for the dealers, yet that's not the whole story.

Einer ist immer der Loser
After the police jubilee party, chief Plocher and state attorney Wagenknecht arrive in the underground parking lot, where they find a shot corpse and commend the prompt handling by commissioner Feller, who leaves to bring the bagged evidence to the lab. When detectives Edwin Bremer and Günter Hoffmann arrive, they realize there is no cop Feller so the brass probably let the culprit clear his murder scene and are charged with clearing the case discretely. Victim Dr. Oliver Körfer is also the psychotherapist of Heidrun, Günter's wife, and she demands his 'obvious innocence' proven, while he hopes to cover up that link.

Mr. Dolan of New York

Jimmy Dolan has just been defeated in a fight with "Spider" Flynn. Jones, Dolan's trainer, had bet their whole bank role on the battle. Twenty-four hours from Paris, in the little principality of Konigstadt, lived a king and his ward. Countess Alicia, a beautiful girl, was courted by Count Conrad, the King's nephew. Prince Frederick was to pay the King a visit, and the old King planned to wed him to Alicia. Count Conrad gets a message from the Prince asking him to come to a certain café. Conrad finds Frederick in company with a Mlle. D'Orsay. He begs Conrad to say he is stricken with scarlet fever. The Count consents, but plans to be revenged on Alicia. Jones and Jimmy enter the café. The Count calls Jimmy to his table, offers him twenty thousand francs to impersonate Prince Frederick, gain Alicia's consent to marriage and thus humiliate her. Urged by Jones, Jimmy accepts, and Conrad begins to teach him courtly manners. Jones is to play the role of an Arabian bodyguard. Jimmy and Jones are presented to the King and to Alicia.. Jimmy and Alicia are promptly interested in each other. Some days later, Jones and Jimmy read in the newspaper about "Spider" Flynn's being the champion of all Europe and are indignant. He sends Flynn an insulting message, challenging him to another battle, and Flynn immediately accepts. The King decides to call on Jimmy informally, and finds Jones and his friend boxing. The King takes up boxing and has a gymnasium built. Prince Frederick and Mlle. D'Orsay quarrel. He arrives at Konigstadt the evening of a dance given in honor of Jimmy. Jones sees him at the hotel, and with Jimmy's help ties him in a chair. The Prince escapes and tells the King of the outrage. The big fight is on between Jimmy and "Spider" Flynn. A great crowd has gathered, and among them the King, Alicia and the Prince. Jimmy defeats Flynn and the King is one of the first to congratulate him. The King looks from Alicia to Jimmy, saying there is a Count's title vacant in Konigstadt and that he hasn't had a good boxing match since Jimmy left.
