COLLEGE GIRL MURDERS-(MONK WITH A WHIP)-1967-When a schoolgirl is killed by a poison bible, the pompous Sir John (Sigfried Schurenberg) and Inspektor Higgins (Joachim Fuchsberger) investigate the all girl college she attended. Teachers, students and caretakers all act suspiciously while a red robed monk with a whip prowls around. It has to do with some prisoners secretly let out of jail to kill people (with a strange poison atomizer). The poison was created by (?) a scientist who is the hooded monk's first victim.
Despite it's kind of routine premise this entry into the German Edgar Wallace series is very entertaining. Fuchsberger starred 13 of the 32 stories produced (usually as different characters).
Director Alfred Vohrer made many more in the series.
Thanks for reading and Happy Fourth of July!
