Railway employee Fritz Marr is not regarded well by his superiors. It is the year 1920, and trains regularly pass the railway hub of Erfurt to the East to secretly transport weapons for the fight against the young Soviet Union. Marr knows about this and wants to mobilise other workers to stop these illegal deliveries. To muzzle him, Marr is relocated to a remote rail work construction site.
A woman is rescued after a shipwreck by two fishermen and falls in love with one of them, whereupon the other jealousy attempts a fratricide and other intrigues. The film seems almost like a prelude to Italian neo-realism. Filmed on Sicily, Corsica and on the French Riviera.
La devoción por una bella esclava provoca una guerra entre el faraón Amenes y el rey de Etiopía. Pero ella ama a Ramphis. Fue la película más espectacular que se había producido hasta entonces en Europa y utilizaba una impresionante reconstrucción de las pirámides, los templos, los desiertos e incluso el Nilo en los estudios alemanes Ufa.
