Plot
editThe two brothers, Christoph (Fritz Wepper) and Peter Thaler (Elmar Wepper) could not be more different: the elder Christoph is married and a successful attorney. The younger Peter has given up his studies and is considered by police as a ruthless detective. Both live in the house of the mother (Ruth Hausmeister) and so tensions are inevitable. Together, they go hunting criminals and solve difficult cases.[1]
