    The document summarizes the plot of the 1931 German film M. It describes how the police intensify their search for a serial killer of children after he sends a taunting letter to newspapers. Unable to catch the killer, a group of criminals led by "The Safecracker" organize their own manhunt using beggars to watch over children. They eventually track down the killer, named Beckert, and drag him to an abandoned distillery for a makeshift trial where he delivers an impassioned speech about his compulsions before likely being killed by the mob.
