I Am Scrooge (Season 1)

I Am Scrooge (Ich bin Dagobert, 2024) is a German crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. It reworks a case that gripped West Germany at the close of the 1980s, when one man started squeezing big department stores for cash and kept the police chasing shadows for months.

Newspapers handed him a nickname: the DuckTales Bandit, after the money-hungry duck Dagobert. He fed his pursuers routes to follow, rigged ingenious contraptions to collect the ransom, and slipped every trap they set. The longer the hunt dragged on, the more the public rooted for the thief instead of the detectives. Friedrich Mücke plays the lead, with Hannu Salonen directing.

This isn't a dry case file. It's a tense cat-and-mouse where your sympathy keeps sliding from the investigators over to the man they can't catch. Stream I Am Scrooge (2024) online on iFILM.
