In Germany, Hans Beckert is an unknown killer of girls. He whistles Edvard Grieg's song, 'In The Hall of the Mountain King', from his Suite in the 'Peer Gynt' while attracting little girls for death. The police force, pressed by the Minister, give their best efforts trying unsuccessfully to arrest the serial killer.
Peter Lorre 's character is introduced by the musical cue "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Edvard Grieg 's "Peer Gynt Suite No. 1". This was one of the very first times that a musical theme was used to signify a character, a technique known as a 'leitmotif' borrowed from the world of opera that is now a staple of filmmaking.
