Fernseh Abenteuer #85

When Professor Ferrand and his daughter are signed to perform a high-diving act from a hot air balloon for the Burke and Walsh circus, their big moment is threatened by rival carnival thugs determined to sabotage the show and lure them away.

In a quiet cabin near the tracks, Old Zeb keeps watch with a network of signals strung along the rails—each one a coded warning. When an upturned laundry basket appears on the line, it’s not just a sign of trouble, but a call to action for the train’s engineer, who must decide what to do before it’s too late.
