The unsuccessful and financially troubled writer Umberto Designori discovers a historical document in the Ticino village of Montagnola. Suspecting that it was authored by the famous writer Hermann Hesse, who spent the final years of his life in Montagnola, he sets off for Calw. However, the town archivist and Hesse expert, Dr. Giebenrath, reveals to him that the document is a forgery. The following night, Designori falls to his death. The supposed Hesse letter has disappeared. Detectives Lola Kraft and Jasmin Stein of the "Mordkommission Calw" begin their investigation.

This time, Tatort Calw takes us to the stage, the world's greatest stage. During an amateur theater performance, a version of Romeo & Juliet "translated" into Swabian, a shot is fired according to the script. But the bullet was not a blank. The result: undertaker and amateur actor Günther Jourdan lies dead on the stage. A new case for Calw detectives Jäger, Kraft, and Hoffmann, who now find themselves confronted with a multitude of quarrels, motives, and suspects within the theater troupe. Secret affairs, property disputes, pregnancies, and personal animosities. The theater people are like a prime-time soap opera on private television. However, when the alleged perpetrator is identified, there is a surprising twist.

Through an inheritance, a group of friends find out that their grandfathers had found crates of gold in the wreckage of a crashed plane in the final days of the Second World War. A short time later, the men were killed and the gold was never found. Now the gawky grandsons are trying to recover the treasure. In the process, they come up against crooks, speculators and old and neo-Nazis.

The brutal murder of a retired judge draws detectives Lola Kraft and Jasmin Stein into the case. Was a former "client" of the victim out for revenge? Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Karl Jäger faces entanglements within his own family that escalate into a direct confrontation with a drug lord. The explosive finale unfolds at the "Badischer Hof".

Detectives Karl Jäger and Lola Kraft are investigating again. An inconspicuous family man saves a young woman from being raped and uses unexpected skills that not only attract the attention of himself, but also of the police. But it is not just his mysterious past that troubles the amnesiac victim, but also a killer squad. Who is after him? And what is the mystery of his past?
