This one's really three separate stories: One is about Kottan (Lukas Resetarits) trying to get back together with his wife (Bibiane Zeller), but making a mess of it most of the time, the second is about Kottan's arch-nemesis Horrak (Ernst Konarek) escaping police custody during his own trial, and then trying to kill Kottan, multiple times.

The third story is about an animal lover who takes revenge on animals owners in the very kind they have tortured their animals: He spays a woman who has spayed her cat, killing her in the process, he harnesses a jokey in front of his own sulky and drives him to death, he abandons a couple who have abandoned their cat stark naked at a tank practice range, he hooks a fisherman, and so on and so forth. Kottan and company (Walter Davy, Curt A. Tichy, Kurt Weinzierl) take their dear time to connect the dots, but eventually they lay out some bait to capture the killer, by reporting that Kottan has tortured his guinea pig to death. The trap springs of course, thanks to the timely intervention of Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine), and ultimately, in a finale that seems right out of Scooby Doo, the killer's revealed to be a masked gorilla.

This episode has some of the most memorable scenes of the series, some murders that are as gruesome as they are hysterical, and in terms of sketches it mostly doesn't rely on warming up old gags over and over again - so basically it's one of the funner episodes of the series - which can't really hide the fact that it's a bit of a let-down in the storytelling department, as it tries to tell three stories at the same time and feels thus oddly disjointed, not at all helped by sketches that pretty much interrupt the narrative flow every now and again (a trademark of the later episodes of the series) - so in a nutshell, good entertainment, but flawed as a crime show.
