The Dr Mabuse series was revived in 1960 by none other than Fritz Lang (1000 Eyes Of Dr Mabuse). A total of six were released from 1960 to 1964. This is the fifth entry. It’s based on the novel “The Device” by Bryan Edgar Wallace and is written by Ladislas Fodor and Norbert Jaques.

The evil Dr. Mabuse dies in Germany but a new doctor, Dr. Pohland (Walter Rilla), takes his place as the spirit of Mabuse lives on through him. The new Dr. Mabuse enslaves people with his stolen mind-controlling camera that makes them carry out his orders.

Dr. Mabuse uses the device to inflict a crime wave in England. It's up to Major Bill Tern (Peter van Eyck) of Scotland Yard and Hamburg Inspector Vulpius (Werner Peters) to team up and crack the case. The Major is helped by his know-it-all doddering mother Gwendolyn (Agnes Windeck), who is around for comic relief.
