Mit Volldampf voraus (1935)
Von nostalgischer Poesie und Humor gespeistes Porträt des amerikanischen Südens. Das glänzende Geschäft mit einem angeblichen Wundermittel hat einen Doktor in die Lage versetzt, sich einen ausrangierten Mississippi-Dampfer zu kaufen und darauf ein schwimmendes Wachsfigurenkabinett einzurichten. Als sein Neffe wegen Mordes zum Tode verurteilt wird, macht sich der Doc mit der Braut des jungen Mannes auf die Suche nach dem einzigen Entlastungszeugen. Die abenteuerliche Reise gipfelt in einem furiosen Dampfschiffrennen.
