Der weiße Dämon

Deutschland 1932 Spielfilm

Dope

Heini Gildemeister returns to Hamburg after a long stay in South America. When he sees his sister Gerda again at home, he is horrified. She is weak and ill, and yet the singer is supposed to start a tour to Paris the next day in this condition. Heini immediately notices that something is wrong and learns from the doctor that his sister is addicted to cocaine. However, she does not tell him who is the source of her dope.

He does everything in his power to prevent her departure, but time and again the people behind the drug gang succeed in separating the two of them. When he finally manages to get her to a sanatorium in Paris, he also manages to have the gang busted. He and Gerda's friend Dora return to Hamburg as victors and allies for life.
