His best friend is a 1917 German detective film from the Joe Deebs film series directed by Uwe Jens Krafft with Max Landa in the title role.
action
This Joe Deebs crime thriller is a story with humorous undertones. Henry de Smet, a friend of the detective, receives a visit from his father-in-law, Sebastian Straaten, who is relocating his umbrella during this visit. Then the old man almost panics because the good piece seems dear to him. Deebs turns on and finds the umbrella. A little later, the nose is drawn into a case around Straaten. Because he dies suddenly and, although he was considered very wealthy, leaves behind no money, but only a highly indebted house in which he lived. Deebs had the brilliant idea of looking in the umbrella, which was so important for Straaten, and in fact: he found a deposit there that was worth a large sum (250,000).
