Alfred Haase

On their honeymoon in St. Moritz,a new husband who is much older than his young bride is driven to despair when he thinks she prefers to spend her time with a younger man there, an actor.

In order to punish her cold, brutal aristocratic husband for murdering her lover, a woman becomes a common prostitute to shame him.

A murder in a winter sports hotel jolts Inspector Eyck out of his cozy, relaxed holiday mood. He rushes to the scene, where he encounters crime writer Gorgas, who, as he says, conducts "crime scene studies." But this case isn't fiction, because a dead man lies on the ground. Eyck immediately begins his investigation, which initially yields little insight. And the prime suspect, Gorgas, also has a watertight alibi.

Remake of a 1929 German film by the same title about a man and a police dog.
