Devoted butler Arthur finds countess von Falkenberg fatally stabbed at her desk in the castle. He shortly returned from a walk with her sister Lucia, who is in wheelchair since a terrible accident she blames her for left Lucia in a wheelchair instead of starring on stage. The countess was generally disliked, as Sven and Korbinian keep hearing from everyone, including young maid Colette Messner and her hunky lover, cheeky forester Sebastian Dorfler, who rather enjoyed the countess trying to seduce her, unlike the part-time castle stable-master Toni Wallner, who was refused resigning from that job and her attentions to entertain his lover, under threat of cancel his family's farm tenancy. Meanwhile Sven is amused by stuck-up accountant Ortmann needing his help to entertain her haughty, naive mother and her latest prospective lover as sailing yacht owner.
