Rex Resolution 50: Die Verschwoerung

When three friends find themselves blackmailed by a business associate, they elect to take matters into their own hands. As the victim indulges in a little clay-shooting, he suddenly finds himself staring down the barrel of his own gun, as one of three shoot him in the face in an attempt to make his death look like a suicide. Meanwhile, another heads off to the victim's hotel room to erase incriminating data from his computer. Then it's time to resume their pleasant morning of golf.

However, they weren't counting on Rex, who picks up a trail at the crime scene that leads him right on to the golf course. Questioned by Brandtner, this unsettles one of the three to the extent that he loses his nerve and releatedly attempts to leave the hotel, incurring the wrath of his associates. This eventually secures him the 'hot spot', locked in a sauna in a fluffy robe with heat set to maximum in an attempt to silence him for good.

With a brief intermission so that Rex can eat chocolate from the hotel mini-bar and watch a porno movie, for which Boeck gets blamed (smart dog!), Brandtner soon works out that the victim had been blackmailing the three men and moves in to arrest them on suspicion of murder. Rex manages to locate the sauna victim but, in trying to save him, he gets locked in and sweaty under the collar himself. The other two run for it with Boeck in hot pursuit. With their escape foiled by a train crossing, the chase takes off along the rail lines where Boeck falls and ends up unconscious between the rails, just in time to catch the express to Salzburg. Rex, by this time freed from the sweatbox, gets there in the nick of time to stop the train, which finally comes to rest a metre or two from Boeck. As he helps Brandtner round up the escapees, the case is laid to rest.
