English titles: The Testament of Dr. Mabuse; The Last Will of Dr. Mabuse
A supercriminal who has been committed to a psychiatric institution spends his days writing criminal plans who are then collected by the institution's chief psychiatrist. Concurrently to that, a series of crimes are committed by a gang of criminals run by someone who identifies himself as that supercriminal but is never seen by them. A police inspector investigates the issue.
Sequel to Dr. Mabuse the Gambler which is even sillier than its predecessor and considerably less interesting. Again, one has to admire the technique with which it was filmed, but this time the whole affair feels like pushing the boundaries of nonsense a little too far, without a body of ideas which might amuse the viewer or provide commentary on political or social issues.
