Two of the three members of the blind tasting jury in a hotel's cocktail mixing contest die from drinking Norbert Prinz's creation. Is third juror Ralph Kipplinger, husband of victim Lore, prime suspect or potentially still a target, having stepped out from a breather due to a mild asthma attack, which he could fake, to punish her adultery with famous Norbert Prinz? What about his jealous ex Sabine Mehringer? "Times Square"-publican Jo noticed victim Sandmann and sponsoring host Carsten Roessler argue bitterly before the event. Hofer and Hansen, whose well-started Caribbean regatta was wrecked by a storm, investigate. Precinct secretary Stockl and controller Ortmann plot about expenses.
