Der Flug um den Erdball

Ellen Richter is particularly famous as the star of multi-part travel and adventure films that take her across Europe to Africa, Asia and America. She is the first actress to put a female stamp on this male-dominated genre. As pilot Ellinor Rix, she has to prove in the two-part film DER FLUG UM DEN ERDBALL (The Flight Around the World) that she can fly around the world in 13 days in a newly developed aeroplane. A saboteur thwarts her plans.
