The film was the continuation of the crime film The Brothers of Saint Parasitus and was therefore also called The Brothers of Saint Parasitus, Part 2 .
action
“Webbs pursued the criminals who were holding the rich Miss Gerdy prisoner for the purpose of blackmailing and using airplanes and carrier pigeons to find out their whereabouts in the castle on the hillside. Webbs and his two companions, however, were carried into a dungeon by the criminals using an ingenious slide device on the main stairs and caught. But Webbs freed himself and he managed to catch all the criminals with their own device and let them slide one by one into prepared sacks. "
