synopsis
A remake of the silent serial A Man Without Name, Abenteurin von Tunis (The Adventures of Tunis) stars Dr. Philip Manning in the title role. The adventures are many and varied, with thrills taking second place to humor. Featured in support are Karl Hussar-Puffy as the portly comedy relief Theo Schall as an accused murderer, and Senta Soeneland as a harridan of a wife. Critics in 1931 took director Willi Wolff to task for his confused continuity and haphazard scene transitions, though this may have been the fault of the studio editors. As was the case with the original serial, this 1931 feature-length remake was a box-office hit.
