When a Berlin nightclub worker moves to Budapest to take up a job that has been arranged for her, she finds herself being kidnapped by white slave traffickers. She is eventually rescued from a brothel in Athens. The film opened with a warning from a group committed to combating white slavery, but the film's sensationalist tone provoked controversy. In Britain it was refused a licence by the British Board of Film Censors although it is possible it had some private screenings. One contemporary review described it as a "crude melodrama on an unpleasant subject". ## Credits - **Director:** [Jaap Speyer](https://cinepixo.com/people/jaap-speyer) - **Original Music Composer:** [Hans May](https://cinepixo.com/people/hans-may) - **Director of Photography:** [Paul Holzki](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-holzki) ## Cast - [Kurt Gerron](https://cinepixo.com/people/kurt-gerron) - [Erich Kaiser-Titz](https://cinepixo.com/people/erich-kaiser-titz) - [Paul Rehkopf](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-rehkopf) - [Maria Forescu](https://cinepixo.com/people/maria-forescu) - [Sophie Pagay](https://cinepixo.com/people/sophie-pagay) - [Wilhelm Diegelmann](https://cinepixo.com/people/wilhelm-diegelmann) - [Mary Kid](https://cinepixo.com/people/mary-kid) - [Fritz Alberti](https://cinepixo.com/people/fritz-alberti) - [Wera Engels](https://cinepixo.com/people/wera-engels) - [Trude Hesterberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/trude-hesterberg) - [Rudolf Klein-Rogge](https://cinepixo.com/people/rudolf-klein-rogge) - [Mia Pankau](https://cinepixo.com/people/mia-pankau) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
