The Robber with the Gentle Hand

Siegfried Dennery suffers from life-threatening bronchial asthma. He could only recover in a milder climate. Dennery buys land on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. He wants to use the sale of his discotheque to finance the construction of a hotel. But everything goes wrong. A Caribbean contact is working for his own benefit, and the bank refuses to give him the loan he needs. Dennery comes up with a daring plan: he wants to raise money by robbing banks... Based on the autobiography of the bank robber Dennery, who stole around 1.5 million marks in Bavaria in the 1980s. (Text: Hörzu 49/1995)
