A gangster story in Las Vegas in the late 1950s. Two gangster syndicates are engaged in a small war. An old toy dealer and a police lieutenant find themselves in the crosshairs. In his only crime radio play, Heiner Müller paints a pitch-black picture of American society. It was first broadcast on East German radio in 1962 under the pseudonym Max Messer; Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk has made this special piece available. Image source: Boris Breuer
