Der Tod eines Ungarn gibt der SOKO 5113 Rätsel auf: Jan Szabò war allem Anschein nach ein unbescholtener Bürger, der seiner Arbeit im Amtsgericht nachging. Wer sollte ein Interesse am Tod dieses Mannes haben? Ein Zufall führt Hauptkommissar Schickl und sein Team zu Frau Arani, der Schwägerin Szabòs, die in München ihre Tochter sucht. Lana Arani wurde aus einem Katalog des dubiosen Ehevermittlungsinstituts von Herrn Friedberg vermittelt. Ihr 'Gatte' Lorenz fand allerdings keinen Gefallen an ihr und wollte sie 'umtauschen'. Seitdem fehlt von Lana jede Spur. Szabò hatte Frau Arani seine Hilfe bei der Suche zugesichert - musste er seine Erkenntnisse mit dem Leben bezahlen?
