Bavarian 'schlager' star Adrian Aller's corpse is found by an ornithologist hiking in the mountains, after a fatal fall resulting from a push down a rock. Stadler and Danner concentrate on the people in his company while he spent a day with the four winners of competitions. Manager and wife Bärbel Wimmer is sole heiress, and may be jealous despite claiming she counted on him returning fast after every meaningless affair. Such as lately Maja Tiemann, ghost writer for his autobiography. Exclusive photographer Paul Kreutzer had a row with the publisher and Aller about payment, and an affair with Barbel. Among the local winners was, for the local newspaper, Marianne Grasegger's sister Doris, but she ceded her place, which was against the rules, so she impersonated her.
