The whole of Bredenau wants to celebrate the indestructible Manda Voss with a huge party on her 106th birthday. For grandson Albert, the venue can of course only be his inn.

Commissioner Brockmann's criminal investigation is prompted by the body found by the cleaner Erna Pieper, which turns out to be very mobile!

Meta Boldt misses nothing in the house of master butcher Tramsen.

Slowly but surely, her half-truths get her into trouble with everyone in the house, especially as she can't keep her mouth shut...

Frugality can be a virtue, but for Schneider Nörig this virtue seems to have turned into avarice. For him, pancakes with two kinds of jam are a reprehensible luxury. He prefers to put the money aside, or rather put it in his piggy bank.

Neighbor Krup seems to be a promising candidate and a good match in his eyes. Money could come into the family if Nörig were to marry Krup's sister...
