criticism
““ In the richly moving six acts of this film, which is definitely geared towards the sensationalism of the overwhelming majority of the cinema audience, the battle for the properties of a newly discovered precious metal, whose astonishing power is capable of capturing the entire electricity of the clouds, is fought. The energy captured by the 'Platinaphore' can take over from a power station all the services of the previous power plants, which are threatened with extinction. The board of directors of an electricity company is keenly interested in owning this invention, and since they cannot acquire it, they cleverly attempt to steal it. Harry Hill is the skilful guardian of the treasure and is portrayed with the usual bravura by Valy Arnheim, who is also responsible for the very effective sensations and the exciting overall staging. Marga Lindt is his beautiful opponent. ""
