Wegener (Peter van Eyck), a successful businessman, reports an extortion letter to Inspector Keller (Erik Ode) that threatens his life should he not pay a certain amount at a certain date. Initially Wegener refused to pay, but then he was shot at, twice, and now he takes the letter very seriously, yet when Keller offers police protection, Wegener turns him down, insisting his gardener and his driver will take good care of him. The next day, the gardener is found, shot dead, in the park of Wegener's mansion. Now Keller insists to have his assistant Heines (Reinhard Glemnitz) stay at Wegener's, and while he claims it's for Wegener's protection, Keller already has suspicions of his own. Heines soon makes a few weird discoveries, like Rainer (Richard Rüdiger), son of Wegener's business associate Merck (Hermann Lenschau) searching the gardener's room for something - a gun the police has already confiscated it will later turn out. Then there's Wegener's housekeeper (Rose Renée Roth), who knows much more than she lets on, and Wegener's personal assistant Hannelore (Marianne Koch), who apparently had an affair with the gardener - and eventually it becomes clear, the gardener tried to blackmail Wegener with Hannelore's help, and thus Wegener faked the extortion letter to pretend his own life was in danger and the gardener died in the line of duty ...

 

It's all there what one either loves or hates about Der Kommissar, the contrived plot, the over-convoluted structure, the stilted dialogue - and even though this time around the real culprit is very early to spot, it's one of the better episodes, as it's nicely filmed, makes good use of its main location, the backstory feels real, and Peter van Eyck gives a strong central performance. So an episode that should work even when not seen through the eyes of nostalgia.
