In 18th century Europe, King Friedrich II of Prussia leads his army through the seven-years-war with neighboring states, and after numerous near defeats, eventually brings a victorious army back to Berlin.

This film is a fascinating showcase for Emil Janning's theatrical play. He's a gentle school teacher who believes in his boys and is easily fooled about all things, while the other town officials want him dismissed. Curiously it's very hard to see what the film is exactly aiming for. Disaster strikes and the lax prof proves to be too far removed of the real problems of the world, on the other hand his enemies are shown in the most unsympathetic, satirical way denouncing the militaristic, bourgeois ideology of the Kaiserreich.

Kay Hoog es un millonario aventurero, una especie de cruce entre Phileas Fogg e Indiana Jones. En la primera parte de la serie, "Der goldene see", Hoog encuentra una botella con un mensaje que ha sido arrojada al mar por un profesor de Harvard desaparecido en Perú. A partir de aquí, se suceden las más diversas aventuras: el hallazgo de un gran tesoro de la antigua civilización inca, una organización secreta llamada "Las Arañas", dirigida por una mujer fría y calculadora, viajes en barco y globo. Y, finalmente, Hoog se enamora de una bella princesa inca y la lleva consigo a San Francisco. De Las arañas en particular, de la cual solo pudieron llevarse a cabo las dos primeras partes de las cuatro en que se había concebido, diré que prefigura en cierta manera el tipo de El doctor Mabuse y que está, al menos en su primera parte, inspirada ya de un modo totalmente languiano, a través de noticias y artículos de los periódicos, como haría hasta el fin de su obra en tantas películas.
