Fire Below Deck

Directed by Herrmann Zschoche

With Manfred Krug, Renate Krößner, Bolesław Płotnicki, Arnim Mühlstädt and Jürgen Heinrich

Otto Scheidel (Manfred Krug) has been captain of the Elbe steamer Jenissei for over twenty years, but his ship, the last of its kind, is going to be converted into a floating restaurant. Otto, whose his strong attachment to the ship has already cost him his relationship with his girlfriend Caramba (Renate Krößner), refuses to take another job and instead joins a railway construction brigade.
