Ninon d'Hauteville es una vedette que presenta un vodevil en el pueblo de Gerolstein titulado "El príncipe y la cortesana". Los miembros de la Sociedad de la Moralidad se sienten muy ofendidos porque en una escena el príncipe aparece bajo las faldas de Ninón. Así que, armados con silbatos y otros instrumentos ruidosos, se presentan en el teatro para boicotear la función.
Peggy
Mismatched travellers are stranded overnight at a lonely rural railway station. They soon learn of local superstition about a phantom train which is said to travel these parts at dead of night, carrying ghosts from a long-ago train wreck in the area. The travelers eventually get to the bottom of the things that go bump in the night.
Clarissa - Young Street Walker
Before road movies there were street films, a distinct cycle within German silent cinema. The essential ingredient - misalliance between bourgeois and slum dweller - is present here, though somewhat displaced by Asta Nielsen's star persona. She plays an aging hooker who falls for handsome Felix, a student who has rowed with his parents and ventured into the lower depths. Dreaming of a new life, she ejects her pimp and invests her savings in a cake shop. Even without that title, though, you wouldn't bet on a happy ending. Nielsen is a quite restrained sort of diva, and Rahn likewise soft pedals the melodrama, except for the grand finale. He died soon after making this, his contemporaries regretting the masterworks the cinema was thus denied. Well, maybe.
