Yes there was propaganda but it was light. It was anti British,although subtle.In spite of that it was very funny and Entertaining. What was the propaganda?Two crooks were playing Sherlock and Watson disguised as humor. The idea was to portray the British as a bunch of crooks. I saw that in my naked eyes.Now there was another Nazi made Sherlock Holmes .There might have been different type of propaganda very lightly too. Hans Alber was a very good as the crook,Morris Flint, more American than British, who takes on the role of Sherlock just to get a free ride on the train.Heinz Ruhmann , who plays,Macky McPherson, what a name, as the assistant crook. This character is more worried about being caught as Morris goes deeper in risk.Because of the clothe that Morris steals, every one in the train believes he and Macky are Sherlock and Watson.They both check on passengers pass port , so they can stay on the train. Two women they check Mary Berry, played by Marie Luise Claudius, and Jane Berry , played by Hansi Knotic. They had entertaining a bunch of crooks who ran out of the train when they discover Sherlock and Watson was on the train.Morris and Macky take advantage of this faking when they use it to get a room in the expensive hotel.There are other crooks at the hotel.A vamp,Madam Ganymar played by Hilde Weissner and partner Fred, played by Angelo Fararri. They are waiting on some stuff. That stuff end up at the hotel room of Morris and Mackpherson. They both take advantage of it but they get suspicious of the money. But the police call on them ,thinking they had caught them, but as the two detectives. Somebody has stolen a valuable stamp. A young stamp collector has walked all the way from a Heimat village to see the stamps. Fred and Ganymar discovered that the two aren't Sherlock or Watson and took their stuff. When both crooks go back to the Hotel, they are confront by Fred and Ganymar. If they don't give the other crooks the money , they will reveal the other persons secret to the police. The two Berry Sisters are at their Uncles castle, He died and they inherited it but the Butler and the lawyer does not know where the money island are afraid to let the two sisters know. This leads to Morris and Mcpherson to the castle to find the stamp. They discover that the girls uncle was a counterfeiter . They both have trouble telling these women that their uncle was crooked. The head of the police are mad because they had duped the police that two crooks had played Holmes and Watson. So they go to the castle to have them arrested, They by pass them.
