The Hindenburg

Colonel Ritter is a dedicated German security officer put on board as the dirigible sails for America. He suspects crew and passengers of potential sabotage and his subtle investigations encompass a host of characters, including a reefer-puffing Countess, card sharps Emilio Pajetta and Major Napier trying to fleece gullible passengers, and Edward Douglas, a nervous American executive. Throughout the voyage Ritter probes and pries but has no answers until the Hindenburg is about to dock, finding a bomb at the last minute planted by a crew member who wishes to discredit Hitler's regime. At the landing dock, the craft explodes. Passengers and crew jump for their lives or ride the flaming wreckage to earth to either perish or survive.
