One evening in the mid-sixties, Rolf Anschütz, a chef who runs a small restaurant in a town called Suhl in the middle of the East German province of Thuringen offers his guests a unique and exotic meal - Japanese Sukiyaki. It was intent to be a surprise for some of his best customers and it became a great success. Even the local paper wrote about it - and this should change the life of Rolf Anschütz forever.

Police officers Schraube and Wattner lead a relaxed life in a quiet provincial town. There is no work waiting for them here, they can just relax all day. This changes abruptly when Mayor Billing wants to bring tourism to the village. The forest lake, of all places, where the policemen relax every day, is to become the center of a flourishing bathing establishment. If the two policemen don't want to lose their idyll, they have to take action. A blowpipe with poison darts is to help them thwart the mayor's plans.
