2Was gibt‘s zum Essen?" "Nix." Paukenschlag am Eberhofer-Hof: Die Oma streikt! Nach gefühlt 2000 Kuchen und noch mehr Schweinsbraten, Semmelknödeln und Kraut beschließt die Oma, sich der familiären Fürsorge zukünftig zu entledigen. Chaos pur! Papa Eberhofer, Franz, Leopold und Susi sollen doch bitteschön endlich mal lernen, sich selbst zu versorgen. Ausgerechnet jetzt übernimmt Susi auch noch vorübergehend Niederkaltenkirchens Rathaus als stellvertretende Bürgermeisterin und reduziert mit ihrer neugewonnenen Macht Franz‘ Posten kurzum auf halbtags, damit er sich zukünftig um Sohn Pauli kümmert.

Wird wohl wieder nichts mit dem hammermäßigen Frühstück bei der Oma. In Niederkaltenkirchen sinnt ein entflohener Psychopath auf Rache. Und Eberhofers Chef Moratschek macht sich vor Angst ins Hemd, weil er einen blutigen Schweinskopf in seinem Bett gefunden hat. Franz muss sich fortan als sein Bodyguard bewähren. Und das, wo den Kommissar grad ganz andere Sorgen plagen, ist doch Dauerliebe Susi nach Italien abgehauen. Na, das kann was werden, als dann auch noch Oma und Papa alle zu einer Italienreise verdonnern, um die Susi aus den Fängen ihres Liebhabers zu befreien.

Franz Eberhofer ist im Stress, denn an allen Ecken und Enden seines Lebens brennt es gleichzeitig: erst die Zwangsbeförderung, die ihn nach München führt, dann die Susi, die endlich einmal die Hochzeitsglocken läuten hören will. Und als wäre das nicht genug, taucht zu allem Unglück im alten Auto von Franz' Vater die Leiche einer Frau auf. Das Filmhörspiel zu Rita Falks Bestseller "Sauerkrautkoma", in gewohnt grandioser Besetzung mit Sebastian Bezzel, Lisa Maria Potthof und Simon Schwarz - was für eine Gaudi!
