Tschugger

This comedy police series centres on a headquarters ofthe Valais cantonal police. Here work is usually confinedto contemplative trifles: runaway sheep, recalcitranttraffic offenders and presence at village festivals.But suddenly, an unbelievable murder attempt wakes thepolice officers from their deep sleep. Finally, somethingis happening! But before the Tschugger (dialect for‘policemen’) can jump on the case, the federal policeofficer Annette is already there and takes over.The local police chief, Biffiger, appears cooperative onthe surface, but his heart beats for his police station,and he knows from experience that not everything fromBern can be trusted. The mismatched Tschugger duoBax, the wannabe cowboy, and Pirmin, the phlegmaticone, investigate parallel to the federal police officer anduse the home advantage.
