Using a spear gun as a weapon of choice the Shark kills those who cross his path leaving a trail of dead in the Thames. Investigating the matters the police discover that all of the deaths seem connected to a smuggling operation.
Dark and moody Edgar Wallace adaption is an enjoyable mystery. I've been making my way through the films in the series over the past couple of weeks and this is one of the more solid entries. It helps that the setting is not the typical English manor house but instead the environs in and around the river. Helping things along is a great cast, many of whom have appeared all through the series including Klaus Kinski.If one wants to see Kinski's range as an actor one need only watch the films he appears in this series since he's often very different in each one. I really recommend this film as an enjoyable film to curl up with on a dark and stormy night.(I've seen it a couple of times now and enjoyed each viewing)
