Bei einem Comedy Contest fällt der aufstrebende Comedian und hauptberufliche Taxifahrer Sebastian Lennartz tot um. Die Obduktion ergibt, dass er mit einem Herzmittel vergiftet wurde.
Die SOKO findet heraus, dass Lennartz ein besonderes Herzleiden hatte und nur deswegen der Giftanschlag tödlich für ihn endete. Mordmotive gibt es zuhauf, denn die Konkurrenz war groß und der Comedy-Preis begehrt. Doch wer wusste um Lennartz' gesundheitlichen Zustand?
Die SOKO-Kommissare nehmen die Ermittlungen im Comedy-Geschäft rund um den Wettbewerb auf: Offensichtlich konnte sich Comedy-Veteran Christoph Papandopolus nur Chancen auf den Sieg beim Contest ausrechnen, wenn Sebastian Lennartz ihm nicht mehr im Weg stand. Doch würde er für Ruhm und Ehre über Leichen gehen?
Dann gerät Comedy-Agent Karlheinz Krone ins Visier der Ermittler. Der Organisator des Comedy Contest praktiziert SM und hält das vor seiner Frau streng geheim. (Text: ZDF)
