German SummaryLisa Gau, ein etwas leichtlebiges Mädchen, wird in ihrer Wohnung tot aufgefunden. Kriminalist Schirding, der im selben Haus wohnt, übernimmt die Untersuchung. Was auf den ersten Blick wie Selbstmord aussieht, erweist sich als Mord. In Verdacht gerät auch Schirdings Sohn Peter, der ein Verhältnis mit Lisa hatte und als Medizinstudent an Gift herankommt. Peter, dessen Verhältnis zum meist abwesenden Vater ohnehin gespannt ist, verläßt empört das Haus. Schirding versucht den Fall wegen Befangenheit abzugeben, aber seine Kollegen vertrauen ihm. So ermittelt er gewissenhaft weiter, kommt dem wirklichen Mörder auf die Spur und kann ihn stellen: Peters Freund Werner, der nach der Tat in den Westen fliehen will. Am Ende steht der Versöhnung von Vater und Sohn nichts mehr im Wege.

English SummaryLisa Gau, a somewhat easygoing girl, is found dead in her apartment. Detective Schirding, who lives in the same house, takes over the investigation. What looks like suicide at first glance proves to be murder. Schirding's son Peter, who had an affair with Lisa and as a medical student gets close to poison, is also suspected. Peter, whose relationship with his mostly absent father is tense anyway, leaves the house outraged. Schirding tries to hand over the case because of bias, but his colleagues trust him. Thus he continues to investigate conscientiously, gets on the trail of the real murderer and can find him: Peter's friend Werner, who wants to flee to the West after the crime. In the end, nothing stands in the way of reconciliation between father and son.

Original SummaryLisa Gau, una ragazza forse un po' troppo superficiale, viene trovata morta nel suo appartamento. Quello che inizialmente sembra un suicidio, si tramuta ben presto in un caso di omicidio, affidato al commissario Schirding, che abita nello stesso condominio. Fra i sospettati c'è anche suo figlio Peter, che aveva una storia con Lise e che, da studente di medicina, può facilmente procurarsi del veleno. I tesi rapporti fra padre e figlio portano Schirding a rinunciare al caso, ma i colleghi si fidano solo di lui. Il commissario prosegue, dunque, con le sue indagini, individuando il vero assassino: Werner, amico di Peter, che dopo l'omicidio ha tentato di fuggire all'ovest. Padre e figlio si riappacificano.
