Syn: Krimi.

     Comm: Apache dances plus western characters! The film has Béla Lugosi as the villain. Surviving stills show Lugosi as what looks like both as an accordion-playing cowboy (bandana) and a sailor! Most likely the same character. Plus, a lawman [?] wearing a Cowboy hat!

     Lugosi of course had co-starred in LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1920). Detective John Hopkins returned in APACHE REVENGE, PART FOUR aka Apachenrache, 4. Teil – Der Affenmensch / ‘Apache Revenge - The Ape-Man’, which probably didn’t contain any western elements. But was there ever a part one and part two???
