Jakob Studer and his wife traveled to Arbon in eastern Switzerland to celebrate the wedding of their daughter to Albert Guhl, who is also a police officer. After the ceremony there is a carriage ride; Studer suggests the village of Schwarzenstein in the nearby Appenzellerland as a destination because he remembers that his old school sweetheart Anna Rechsteiner runs the “Hirschen” inn there with her paralyzed and terminally ill husband. When the wedding party wanted to leave from there back to Arbon late in the evening, a body was discovered in the garden behind the inn. Anna asks Studer for criminal help in the hope that the death will be solved quickly. When the sergeant examines the body in the cellar of the inn, he discovers that a sharpened bicycle spoke has been pushed through several of the dead man's vital organs. There is also gray dog hair stuck to the spoke. Since the bicycle dealer Ernst Graf, who runs his bicycle shop next to the deer, owns a dog with gray fur, the evidence seems to point to the neighbor.
