Plot

A master criminal runs a ring of spies.

Sinekatalog’s take

Fritz Lang's silent thriller pits a secret agent against a master criminal behind a spy ring. Fast, stylish and inventive, with Rudolf Klein-Rogge sinister, it is a precursor of the modern spy film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
