The
Grumpy Old Salt Senkstake is stranded together with his friend Maat Bruno in
America. Here he is urgently needed to deliver a trapper’s pouch of gold to his
widow while all the time being pursued by the outlaw Black Jack and his gang.
This made

Abenteuer was highly successful the following sequels paled in

It's SenKstake, Tom.
ReplyDeletePlanned and filmed as a 3-part adventure-yarn, played as and with Northern German types. Other 75minutes-TV films are a spoof of a horror film ("The Haunted Castle of Baskermore") and African adventure film ("Honorary Chief of the Watuba Tribe")
