Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Razzia in St. Pauli is set along the docks of Hamburg harbor. A young woman moves in with her lover, the piano player in a cheap cabaret. As setback piles upon setback, the couple begins to wonder what they ever saw in each other. Seeking escape from the relationship, the girl enters into an affair with a two-bit sneak thief. The cops break up this little romance, whereupon the sadder-but-wiser heroine wearily returns to her pianist. Filmed on location, Razzia in St. Pauli was brought in on an amazingly low budget of $8000; needless to say, it made back its cost.
