The most famous serial killer film of those years: using chocolate hedgehogs, a man lures little children to their death. Heinz Rühmann plays the police detective in this film based on a screenplay by Friedrich Dürrenmatt who subsequently reworked it into the crime novel The Pledge (1958). (Locarno Festival)
