The lead "dancing girl" leaves early and is found the next morning, strangled right outside the psychiatric hospital -- presenting no shortage of suspects. Cut to Ellen Strohmeier, attorney, posing for her client/lover, Harald Berger, who is impatiently sketching her. As the story develops, it turns out that Ellen met him during one of her routine visits to the psychiatric hospital, where Herbert Muh-Munn, a known serial killer, is held. The director of psychiatry at the hospital has a policy of allowing in-patients to leave for limited periods of time, although he cautions that there is always the danger of residual risk ("restrisiko"). Max and Freddy, not to mention many local residents, are naturally opposed to this policy and many locals meet to strategize against it. Because Ellen, in love with Berger, decides to leave her husband, Dr. Jurgen Strohmeier, he tries to convince her that Berger is an obvious wack-job and is no doubt the killer. In fact, Max and Freddy consider Berger and Muh-Munn to be the lead suspects, while their office assistant, Lissy, believes the estranged husband of the murder victim is the only possible suspect. Cowboyschusters, parades, papier-mâché heads, and crazy costumes fill the center of Cologne, making solving the case that much more difficult. Written by Lucia Tallchief See less
