Gefährliche Fracht

DDR 1953/1954 Spielfilm


While unloading the cargo vessel "Florida", several West German harbour workers discover napalm bombs instead of the expected high-tech machines aboard. French workers had already refused to discharge the vessel, which then still went by the name of "Chicago" and was apparently deliberately renamed on its way to Germany. Now, the German workers also refuse to discharge the vessel. Among the strikers is Hein Jensen, who is in a difficult position since he just started the job and his family really needs his wages. The Americans try to extort Jensen to change his colleagues′ minds – but Jensen sticks to his decision and the strike develops into a large demonstration for peace.
