Please forgive me if I botch this. :)
The hunchback (Lorre), a drug dealer, has just kidnapped a young singer who is addicted to narcotics. I believe the plan is to blackmail her family for money. He compels her to make a recording of her voice that he can play over the phone to her family.
This was a German/French co-production. I apologize that I don't know French and am unable to translate this. I just find Peter speaking French to be a beautiful thing! The plot of this movie is about a drug pusher who gets a young singer hooked on drugs. Her brother tries to catch the bad guys and save his sister.

Peter Lorre: Stupéfiants [1932]
Peter Lorre - M'sieu Cochon (Strange Cargo - 1940)
M'sieu Cochon ("Pig") approaches Julie (Joan Crawford), whom he desires, and gets a blast with both barrels. This is also where Andre (Clark Gable), a prisoner on the island, first meets her. Cochon (Lorre) works on Devil's Island and makes a living turning in escaping convicts to the authorities. For this he is seen as a loathsome stool pigeon. He looks very cute in a white suit, however.
