Synopsis:

With the etching onto glass of a single word - 'MABUSE' - Berlin reawakens into a nightmare. Fritz Lang's electrifying Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse (The Testament of Dr. Mabuse) is the astonishing second instalment in the German master's legendary Mabuse series, a film that puts image and sound into an hypnotic arrangement unlike anything seen or heard in the cinema before - or since. It's been eleven years since the downfall of arch-criminal and master-of-disguise Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge), now sequestered in an asylum under the watchful eye of one Professor Baum (Oskar Beregi). Mabuse exists in a state of 'catatonic graphomania', his only action the irrepressible scribbling of blueprints that would realise a seemingly theoretical 'Empire of Crime'. But when a series of violent events courses through the city, police and populace alike start asking themselves with increasing panic: 'Who is behind all this?!' The answer borders on the realm of the impossible...

A new crime wave grips the city and all clues seem to lead to the nefarious Dr. Mabuse, even tough he has been imprisoned in a mental asylum for nearly a decade.

Berlin police inspector Lohmann investigates a case, in which all clues lead to a man, who's in a hospital for mental illnesses for since many years - Dr. Mabuse.
