Since being retired from his job at the police, "Monaco" Franz (Helmut Fischer) has (to a low degree) established himself as private eye - but really more so than he can use his office as a home away from home ... which is really why his upper-class wife Annette (Ruth-Maria Kubitschek) wants him to vacate the office to sublet it. But then he pretends he can't give the office yet because he has a big case - which is at least somewhat true, as an old blame of his, Carola (Hilde Ziegler) has come back into town and wants to spend some time with him. Problem is, he can hardly remember her anymore, and while she sure enough is easy on the eye, she's a bit on the annoying side as a person. The bigger problem, she has brought her husband Hubert (Walo Lüönd) so he can finally meet the man his wife has raved about the last 5 years and because of whom they've gone through expensive couples therapy - and pretty much find closure when she leaves him for Franz ... not that Franz really wants Carola in the long run, much less wants to leave his wife for her. Still, upon Carola's insistance, the trio visits all the spots she remembers from her days with Franz back when, and the longer this goes the more Hubert becomes convinced that the man his wife has idolized is no more than a very mediocre womanizer. He still wants Franz to take his wife off his hands though, at least for a few days, so he can have his way with his own sexy secretary. The situation gets so odd that Franz eventually just takes flight - but is tracked down to Annette's antique shop, where Carola makes a scene, bad enough for Franz to pack his bags and move out of his house with Annette, just to not hurt her anymore. And a new man for Annette is already waiting in the wings, her best upper-class friend Dr. Braun (Klaus Guth) who has always had feelings for her. But Franz still has an ace up his sleeve - not that he knows it yet ...

Another fun episode, and one that works especially well because a certain amount of drama permeates the comedy one has come to expect from the series, and shows there are consequences for one's actions as a theme, something that's not always on the forefront of the entries into that series. But drama aside, this one's also dead funny, with Hilde Ziegler as Franz's past flame getting some of the best laughs.
