Rex Resolution 25: Toedliches Dosis



Doesn't Dr. Graf look like a happy chappie? Read further to find out why.

The course of love never seems to run true in Vienna. Another love triangle in this episode. When the man at the centre, a vet and animal rights activist, dies unexpectedly from what appears to be a heart attack, his mistress is suspicious and alerts Moser that all might not be as it seems, pointing the finger of suspicion at the man's wife.


When Moser bribes Dr. Graf with four Havanas (you'd think he'd know smoking isn't healthy!) to look at the body, it's discovered the victim was injected with a large dose of drugs to effectively cause a heart attack. Both the mistress, a vetinary student, and the wife, a vet, have access to such drugs, making them both suspects.


When Rex discovers a laboratory beagle on the loose, the story becomes more complicated and Sonia the vet lends a helping hand, identifying the drug being tested on the beagle. When Rex also gives Moser a lab tag fallen off the dog, Moser is on the trail of the real culprit...


What would Moser do without Rex?


Along the way, Moser's romance also goes off the boil as Sonia bails to the U.S. with three days notice. There's promises of phone calls and it seems all will be good in six months time but we know different, don't we?













Other players include Sissy Hoefferer, above, as the vet's wife, not credited in IMDB for this episode, Theresa Huebchen, above, as Uschi the mistress, Udo Schenk, the victim, above and not credited with IMDB for this episode, Joachim Laetsch, the evil Dr. Slavic, above, not credited with IMDB for this episode, Elisabeth Stiepl, not credited with IMDB for this episode, Wassily Zechyr, not credited with IMDB for this episode, Manfred Schmid, also not credited for this episode - is this episode a figment of my imagination, perhaps? - and, of course, Daniela Gaets last performance.


And was noch? A Recycle-free epsiode.
