Wiener Anwaltsterben
Group inspector Frank Karl is ordered to a crime scene in downtown Vienna. However, the Kieberer is unexpectedly taken off the case because his superior is tormented by other worries: his daughter, encouraged by her high school teacher, is reading obscene texts that quickly turn out to be quotations from world literature. Frank Karl goes round the homes of the outraged parents. In the process, he not only encounters unique specimens of Viennese society, but also stumbles into the teacher's bed - and over the corpse of a prominent lawyer.
