Der Mann, der alles kann

A criminal investigator who is afraid of crime scenes is as ludicrous as an Olympic swimmer who is afraid of water. But sometimes fate plays the craziest pranks, and so the LKA officer Robert from Hanover actually suffers from a phobia that makes it impossible for him to pursue fugitive crooks or even to enter a crime scene. This handicap is a thorn in the side of his superior, the sarcastic macho Horst Hoff. At every opportunity he makes fun of Robert and advises him to quit. Of course, that is out of the question. In his old age, those in their mid-fifties would prefer to be trained as a "profiler", only he needs the consent of Hoff in order to fulfill this lifelong dream. The hairdresser Rita also has a dream: she feels called to write, but unfortunately her stories are not met with much enthusiasm by friends and publishers. When the two romantically inclined dreamers meet, it is love at first sight in the truest sense of the word. Shy and slightly unsettled about their own happiness, they get closer, but unfortunately their attempts to arrange a romantic dinner are thwarted time and again - an escaped violent criminal keeps the men from the LKA in suspense. As if that weren't enough, Rita's daughter Jule is also involved in a criminal case: her roommate is mysteriously killed. While Hoff assumes suicide or an accident, Robert guesses murder with a sure instinct. Both the honest neighbor and Jules' easygoing friend Tim appear to be involved in the case. In their search for the truth, Robert and Rita surpass themselves in astonishing ways, but as the saying goes: love gives you wings.
