The crime novels of Edgar Wallace have enjoyed enormous popularity in Germany, and this movie thriller marks approximately the 30th time his novels have had a German screen adaptation. Sir John (Siegfried Schuerenberg) and Inspector Craig (Hansjoerg Felmy) of Scotland Yard travel all over the city of London in their attempt to unravel the evidence needed to put a big drug-smuggling organization out of business. There are certainly enough corpses to provide clues, as the gang they are pursuing is unusually desperate and ruthless.
Thirtieth in a series of German language thrillers based on the novels of Edgar Wallace, this story concerns an international drug-smuggling cartel which carelessly murders large numbers of people. Siegfried Schuerenberg reprises his role as Sir John, and Hansjoerg Felmy takes a break from his stage work to appear as Inspector Craig, of Scotland Yard. Thanks to their efforts, the bad guys pay for their crimes. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
