“What’s for dinner?” – “Nothing.” A bombshell at the Eberhofer farm: Grandma is on strike. After what feels like 2000 cakes and even more roast pork, bread dumplings and cabbage, Grandma decides to stop caring for the family. Pure chaos. Papa Eberhofer, Franz, Leopold and Susi should finally learn to look after themselves. Now, of all times, Susi temporarily takes over Niederkaltenkirchen’s town hall as deputy mayor and uses her newfound power to reduce Franz’s position to half-time so that he can look after his son Pauli in the future. This action touches Eberhofer’s masculinity. Fortunately, it doesn’t take long before a crow picks up a human ear and a missing person case that was actually stuck unexpectedly develops into a complicated murder case that brings Franz and Rudi together again as a dream team of investigators in top form.
