Ein Serienkiller treibt sein grausiges Unwesen in Hamburg: Während er seine Opfer skalpiert, hinterlässt er selbst eine rote Haarsträhne. Die DNA-Analyse ergibt, dass es sich hierbei um Haare des in den 1980ern erschossenen Terroristen Franz Mühlhaus handelt. Weitere Recherchen des Teams um Kriminalkommissar Jan Fabel ergeben, dass die Opfer zum gleichen linksradikalen Flügel gehörten wie Mühlhaus. Wer leitet den Rachefeldzug in seinem Namen?
Stockinger is an Austrian-made police television drama, with fourteen 45-minute episodes first aired from 1996 to 1997. The series is a spin-off from the popular Austrian television drama Inspector Rex, and focuses on Ernst Stockinger, one of the original members of the Homicide division or Mordkommission in German. Stockinger leaves the series to return to Salzburg where his wife has inherited a dental practice from her late father . He is appointed a Bezirksinspektor at the Landes Gendarmerie, sharing an office with District Inspector Antonella Simoni. Unlike the members of the team in 'Rex', who appear to be self-directed and are seldom seen to answer to senior management, Stockinger reports to Dr Brunner, a philosophising burecratic senior police inspector. Stockinger is portrayed as a clumsy, almost Inspector Clouseau-like character, driving a clapped-out 1973 VW Variant, but single-minded when following up clues.
