"The Man in Search of His Murderer" (original title "Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht") is a 1931 drama based on the 1879 Jules Verne novel "Les Tribulations d'un chinois en Chine"; that tells the tale of Heinz Rühmann who tries to kill himself with his pistol, but cannot pull the trigger. Fortunately, his apartment is invaded by cat burglar Raimund Janitschek. After some negotiations, Janitschek agrees to kill him before noon of the next day in return for fifteen thousand reichsmarks from Rühmann's insurance policy. That night, however, Rühmann meets Lien Deyers, and they fall in love. They track down Janitschek, but he has sold the contract to Hermann Speelmans.
