One for all, all for one! That's the motto in the tranquil village of Heiterstorf just outside Hamburg. In order to be accepted again in his hometown, which Gabriel Panski once arrogantly left behind, the family man runs the gauntlet. After a depressing movie night at the rowing club, the heart of Heiterstorf, he is suddenly the "man of the hour". The village wants to help ensure that Panski doesn't have to pay for a public-spirited heroic deed: the murder of the Hamburg real estate shark Butz, who tried to rip everyone off. Although the moneyed dynast Erna Gutdorf herself scrubbed the crime scene at the rowing club, the clues lead to Panski. Inspector Winter is always one step ahead of the hungover suspect.
