His most powerful weapon is a German silent action film from 1928 by and with Harry Piel .
action
Harry Petersen is a man with speed, which you can tell from the way he rushes through the area on his motorcycle. His most powerful weapon, on the other hand, is his resourcefulness and quick perception, as well as his hearty, gripping manner. Harry Petersen has just made a great invention: the lamp without an electrical lead. Harry hoped to find a financier for his idea in the American businessman Al Kinley, but he was not interested. After a collision occurs between Harry and a certain Mr. Ginew, a sinister in a massive eight-cylinder luxury car, Petersen goes to Mr. Kinley without being asked to convince him of his invention.
Ginew also wants something from Kinley, namely to sell him stolen antiques. Harry only bothers, and so the gloomy Ginew unceremoniously smashes Harry's wireless lamp that this Mr. Kinley was just about to demonstrate. Ginew claims that Harry is a fraud, whereupon Kinley unceremoniously puts the German gentleman outside the door. But the jack-of-all-trades Harry doesn't just let himself go, grabs his motorcycle and drives straight into the middle of a hotel, through all the floors and corridors, over the stairs and through the air to track down the crook Ginew, who lives in the dump. He can't find it, but Harry has thoroughly dismantled his motorcycle.
On his search for Ginew, Harry Petersen finally comes across a large furniture transporter in the dark, the tractor unit of which is broken. Harry discovers that Ginew is using this transport vehicle to move his stolen antiques from A to B. Harry finally encounters his archenemy: a brief fight ensues, crook Ginew is arrested, and Harry saves Mr. Kinley from throwing good money down the throat of a criminal. Out of gratitude, the American businessman invests his saved fortune in Harry's famous invention. Now finally Harry can finally marry his queen of hearts, the dashing Dolly Helmersum.
