 Special emphasis was placed on the regional character of Berlin and all episodes (with exception of a holiday episode) took place in Berlin and many characters even spoke with a Berlin accent.The episodes were designed to be entertaining and told from the perspective of the "little people" and oftentimes ended with a final punch that demonstrated strong values.For example, the plot of the first episode, The Police Officer's Gift, revolved around a burglar (played by Pfitzmann) that the police mistakenly thought was the homeowner and due to this misunderstanding the burglar was allowed to escape with his loot.
