Coffin from Hong Kong-Euro action-thriller in Edgar Wallace fashion with Heinz Drache.

A 1964 Euro spy/detective flick all in the fashion of an Edgar Wallace mystery thriller. Loaded with red herrings galore, murders by faceless killers, frame ups, all is not what it seems plotline and characters. Add this to a Hong Kong/London location and you have one interesting & entertaining movie.

Above- It’s not every day you arrive home and find dead body. And he thought there were not any interesting cases to solve.

Heinz Drache plays Nelson Ryan -a London based private detective. In between cases and itching to get back to business, he may have “spoke” too soon. After arriving home one night-his flat and office all in one. To his surprise there’s a girl sitting in his office, but upon closer examination -she’s dead. Oh, and she was shot by his gun. You know how frame-ups go.

Moments later a “knock” on the door and the father-in-law — a very rich businessman and his secretary show up. Jefferson states someone called him and explained his daughter-in-law was dead and at this location. Jefferson hires Ryan to get to the bottom of this and what really happened to his son. Who may or may not have been in a coffin the daughter-in-law was having transported to London from Hong Kong.
