For a hefty price, owner Julia Feind and her employee Patrick Lösche offer "cuddling with no strings attached." Hubert and Girwidz make a gruesome discovery there: Patrick Lösche lies stabbed to death in the cozy bed of the cuddling agency.

Since Lösche assigned his clients only pseudonyms to protect their anonymity, Hubert and Girwidz must first figure out who is hiding behind the names Schnupperl, Goatee, and Your Highness.
