Leonard Lansink as Detective Wilsberg

Storyline

Georg Wilsberg and his goddaughter Alex attend a Sunday church concert performed by Wilsberg’s friend Manni and his choir and in which Manni also has a solo. During the concert private detective Wilsberg discovers a man’s shoe slipping out of the confessional box. The body of Pastor Hollein lies in the confessional. Investigations prove that the pastor has not been murdered in the church, but that his body was transported there at a later time.

Inspector Springer, very impressed with the case, becomes involved in the investigations of the private detective. Despite not wishing to accept it, the investigations of Anna Springer and Georg Wilsberg lead to mentally retarded Karl Eckelt as the main suspect.
