The entire story revolves around mobsters who are planning on stealing another criminals stolen loot which is hidden in a well crafted and booby-trapped vault.
Why do they decide to do this? Because an old gangster has decided to leave all of his money to the daughter of a former victim. The gangsters watch the woman constantly in order to get their hands on the moolah.
As usual there is a lot of crosses and double crosses but it sometimes just doesn't feel like an Edgar Wallace film. I guess because some of the lead actors never starred in a Krimi before or after the fact.
The story moves along well and there are a couple of scenes involving a character played by Klaus Kinski that really shook me up. I won't tell you about this, I'll let you see the film and judge for yourself.
All in all not a bad thriller, but I do think the casting was odd.
Speaking of which...the cast includes Harald Leipnitz, Judith Dornys, Werner Peters, Vera Tschechowa, Ilsa Steppat and Eddie Arent.
