The Poisoned Light / Otravene svetlo
Synopsis
Professor Grant signs a contract with Dr. Selín to sell his invention of cold light, but the invention's plans remain in Grant's apartment. The negotiations are secretly overheard by an illusionist named Durk, who aims to steal the invention. A few days later, Selín is found dead, and his friend, engineer Bell, alerts the police to a bulb filled with poisonous gas. During the birthday celebration of Grant's daughter Anna, Durk performs and seizes the invention plans. The police identify Durk from a fingerprint left behind, although records suggest Durk should be in prison. It is later revealed that Durk, with the help of a prison guard named Karban, had escaped, leaving his mentally challenged brother in his place.
