action

Harry Winkler, detective assistant from Berlin, and Conny Steven, his counterpart at London's Scotland Yard , have known each other for a long time and are friends. When they both meet in Lisbon , they only have 90 minutes to stay. Because then their ship leaves for Buenos Aires , where they both want to take part in a police boxing tournament. On his journey to the Portuguese capital, Conny met the Berliner Ilse Siebeck on the train. She wants to visit her uncle Alberto Basto here, whom she has not seen for four years.

But when she stands in front of the close relative, she does not recognize him. Should he have changed like that? Irritated and confused, Ilse drives back to the train station, where Harry and Conny are still staying. They promise to help her and drive together to see this ominous uncle. Unlike the first time, Senhor Basto now pretends to have known Ilse for ages and greets her warmly. Harry becomes suspicious of Basto's answer to his question. He reads the name of a woman on the collar of a small dog Bastos and decides to visit this person, who is also resident in Lisbon.

This is the owner of a fashion salon. That Madeleine Ribail is very surprised, because she believed her four-legged friend in the hotel with her fiancé, a certain Senhor Moreno. Harry follows this lead, but nobody in the hotel knows this man. Now Harry's sense of crime is awakened. Back at the Basto estate, a nasty surprise awaits him there. The alleged homeowner has let his leopard out of the cage and the big cat is hungry! But Harry Winkler has already faced completely different dangers. He fights with the spotted giant cat, of course wins, and by the way also finds out the background to this Alberto Basto. The real Basto was murdered in the jungle by the wrong one, Moreno. Then he took his place.

With this knowledge, Winkler rushes to Madeleine. But Bastos / Moreno's secret is even darker. Harry finds out that this criminal once murdered his own father too. He had been looking for this culprit for a long time. In a wild car chase along a coastal road, the villain falls off a cliff into the abyss and dies. Harry was able to jump out of the car to safety immediately beforehand. Harry and Conny arrive at their ship to South America at the last minute.

criticism

The lexicon of international film writes: "Adventure thriller to the former screen-favorite and daredevil Harry Piel, the thick applying an amusing way and the very fact brings the action-packed story as naive as self-conscious way, voltage and joke." The Evangelical film Observer draws the following conclusion: “A sympathetic, because honest and innocent old entertainment film. Well usable from 12 onwards. "
