Theodor von Stain lies skull-smashed in his living, midst broken exclusive porcelain from his priceless collection, not the murder weapon. Stadler and Ludwig Loibl's prime suspect is his cousin Franz, after a loud, umpteenth brawl, reported by housekeeper Helmut Kranich. Christian Pfister's adulterous wife Henriette points at him. Meanwhile the music academy hosts an international concert pianist who wants a Bavarian farm visit, so must cater at Marie's for a total of seventeen, last minute. The Stain planned to earn a fortune from the aristocratic title by Franz adopting a Pfister.
