This American-style thriller is set in bombed-out Berlin. An American attorney arrives in the city in search of the long-lost heir to a vast fortune. He falls into the clutches of a gang of international counterfeiters. However, the daughter of the man he is looking for comes to his aid, allowing him to escape. High-speed chases through the streets of West Berlin, past ruins and construction sites, are both action-packed and documentary in style.
