Peter Voss, der Millionendieb (1946)

Overview

Polly Petterson is a major customer of the Van Geldern bank, which manages her assets to the tune of one million. When she wants to withdraw the entire amount, the bank, which has speculated, threatens to go bankrupt. The employee Peter Voss then steals the million as a pretense and flees. By agreement, he is to hide until the price of the copper he invested in rises again. Polly hires detective Bobby Dodd and follows the apparent bank robber to Portugal, Brazil, the Wild West and Hawaii. There, Peter Voss is able to convince the rich Polly of his good intentions - and when the bank is saved, there is even a wedding.
