In a plot vaguely resembling an Agatha Christie story ("The Alphabet Murders", in particular), rich New Yorkers (played mostly by German actors, of course) receive threatening letters and later have their children kidnapped; the ransom is always the same, one million dollars. Jerry Cotton is drawn into the case when two dead bodies connected to the case are found in Central Park, accounting for one of the film's alternate titles, though personally I think the original German translation is more accurate: "Murderer's Club Of Brooklyn". This is just a regular crime flick with no James Bond parallels (as the other reviewer on this page correctly observes); much like its leading man, George Nader, it's more business than fun. But three stunt sequences do stand out: a fight on the top of a speeding train, a man falling from a great height and smashing onto a metal pipe before reaching the ground, and Jerry jumping from a car onto a speeding truck and trying to stop it. Nader does most of his own stunts. Oh, and I can't stop whistling that theme! **1/2 out of 4.
