An interesting film, a sophisticated melodrama. A man robs a woman, drops his white gloves, another man finds them and goes to rob the same woman. He kills her. The first man is identified by the gloves and arrested for the crime. The second man obsequiosly opens the door of the patrol car for him.
Capellani is supposedly the most accomplished of the Pathe filmmakers. This film certainly has a sophisticated and complex ending. Crook number one is caught, but blamed for a crime he didn't do as well as one that he did do, while crrok number two gets away scot free. That twist at the end is like something we would expect to see on Alfred Hitchcock Presents and certainly leaves an impression on the viewer.
