Bomben auf Monte Carlo

Deutschland 1931 Spielfilm

Captain Craddock is sailing under the flag of the insolvent Balkan State Pontenero. The crew and Craddock himself haven't been paid their salaries for a long time, so he refuses to take Queen Yola I. as a passenger on his kreuzer. Instead he heads to Monte Carlo where he wants to confront the consul of Pontenero with his complaint.
In a casino he meets a girl beeing none other than Yola I., who decided to travel after Craddock incognito. Fate takes its course as he looses a fortune playing roulette - in order to get his money back, Craddock threatens the director of the casino to attack with his artillery.
