Inspector Rex is an Austrian television series about a German shepherd police dog named Rex and his human partner Richard Moser, who is a detective in the Austrian police force. The show follows their investigations as they solve crimes in Vienna.

Season 3 episode 9, titled "Why Did Romeo Die?" begins with the murder of a theater critic named Romeo. Rex and Richard are called to the scene, where they discover that Romeo was killed during a performance of Romeo and Juliet at the local theater. The victim was stabbed in the back with a knife, and there are multiple suspects who were present at the theater that night.

As the investigation begins, Richard and Rex interview the cast and crew of the play, including the director, producer, and actors. They also question the audience members who were present that night, hoping to find any clue that might lead them to the killer.

The first suspect is the lead actor, who was having an affair with Romeo's wife. However, he insists that he was on stage during the time of the murder, and Rex's keen sense of smell confirms his alibi.

The second suspect is Romeo's ex-wife, who stood to gain financially from his death. She had recently been cut out of Romeo's will, and was desperate for money. Richard and Rex search her house, and discover a knife that matches the murder weapon. However, upon further investigation, they realize that the knife had been planted there, and that she was being set up by the real killer.

The investigation takes a surprising turn when Richard discovers that the victim was not actually the intended target. The killer was after someone else who was present at the theater that night, and Romeo just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As Richard and Rex continue their investigation, they uncover a complex web of relationships and motives, leading them closer to the person responsible for Romeo's death. But just as they think they have the case solved, a shocking twist sends them back to square one.

In the end, it is Rex's skills as a police dog that lead to the killer's arrest, as he tracks them down in a abandoned warehouse. The episode ends with Richard reflecting on the case, and realizing that appearances can be deceiving, and that the truth is not always what it seems.
