A DEA agent goes underground in Tucson to bust a 'toad smoking' ring, but not before he is discovered, ditched to the local brujo, trained in the ways of the toad, dosed, and rocketed out of his body as the DEA piles in to bomb the tadpoles.

Valentin (Wotan Wilke Möhring) receives an alarming call from his best friend Theo (Fabian Busch), whom he gave the keys to his new and much too expensive house, to spend a night with the waitress Mörli (Claudia Eisinger). Theo's - best selling novelist, chess player and not in the best health - and his wife Katja's (Pheline Roggan) marriage is running into trouble for a while already. Therefore some diversion with Mörli is a good idea - according to Valentin. So far, so good. But when Valentin get's to his house, it is lying in darkness, Theo is panicking, somebody is dead and of course nothing is as it seems.

Bavarian town attorney Konrad Mair, who forsakes a good urban income to help his birthplace compatriots, who rarely pay except in kind, to his hag secretary Singer's quiet despair, must again save his buddy, curate Hubertus Müller, who poured manure over businessman Georg Altmann's luxury-cabriolet after his horse defecated on church grounds, and a conviction would mean a transfer to the unholy north by the bishop. Müller also asks Konrad to undo the firing of impulsive simpleton woodworker Thomas Meiting having publicly ear-boxed his employer Wolfgang Brandner for an alleged affair with his wife Sabine. Konrad takes risks and wrestles with his conscience no less then the curate in fighting their good causes, whatever it takes.
