Die toten Augen von London

BR Deutschland 1961 Spielfilm

Dead Eyes of London

Alfred Vohrer′s first film in the Edgar Wallace crime film series: Scotland Yard inspector Larry Hold is confronted with a series of unsolved deaths that cannot be explained as accidents anymore. He suspects the "Dead Eyes of London", a criminal gang of blind peddlers to be responsible for the deaths and – with the support of Sunny Harvey and Nora Ward, a nurse for blind people – starts to search for "Blind Jack", the leader of the gang. Soon, Hold′s investigation leads him to the honourable Reverend Dearborn, the head of a home for the blind, and also to the attorney Judd who had covered all the crime victims with insurances.
