- DirectorVincenzo DenizotStarsAlex BernardGiovanni CasaleggioLuciano DalezaFrank Alberti is the guardian of Lydia, a sweet and unsuspecting young girl. By the terms of his brother's will in the event of her death he will come into possession of her property. An unnatural relative, he plots to remove her and adopts despicable methods. He is a man of some prominence and he enlists the services of one Bernard, a gambler, who is possessed of remarkable hypnotic power over weaker minds. Alberti lays his plans craftily. He takes Lydia to the seaside and invites her to go out rowing in company with himself and a friend. Bernard is disguised as a boatman and rows them to sea. The dory has been tampered with and sinks. As the boat fills with water Alberti and his friend swim for it and leave Lydia struggling in the water. The scene is an astonishing one. The girl is seen to sink down, far below the surface, and then rise again. Bernard conceives a cunning plan and dives and rescues the girl that he may extort money from Alberti. He swims with her to safety unknown to his accomplice. Lydia is reported drowned and Alberti makes a pretense of mourning her death while enjoying his sudden acquisition to wealth. He pays Bernard a sum of money agreed upon and breaks with him. Bernard takes Lydia to Vienna. She is subjected to his hypnotic influence and meekly obeys his every will. Bernard is accompanied on his flight by Fritz, his faithful tool, and the pair meet a young Englishman, Vernon, and invite him to their gaming table. They play for heavy stakes and the young man wins. Having lost his money, Bernard resolves to get Vernon in his power. Acting under his direction Lydia induces Vernon to drink of drugged wine and he is made unconscious, while Bernard, partially concealed, directs her movements. Bernard repairs to the gambling room and becomes involved in a quarrel. He receives a blow which stuns him and he is rendered unconscious, and his influence over Lydia vanishes. She recovers her faculties with a start and is bewildered. Recovering her composure she arouses Vernon, who makes his escape from the window by means of a rope, improvised by using curtains. Lydia is about to follow when Bernard regains consciousness. He returns to Lydia and his shadowy form is seen and, after a brief struggle, she once more succumbs to his influence. Vernon staggers along the street, gradually awakening to the horrors of the situation. He secures assistance and returns to raid the gambling house and rescue Lydia. Bernard and Fritz make good their escape by means of a secret underground passage, through which they intended to convey the body of the girl. Lydia can give no information to the officers as she is still in a dazed condition. Bernard telegraphs Alberti for money, making the demand peremptory and Alberti responds in person. Vernon sees the precious scoundrels at the railway station and follows them to an inn to call the police. In the inn a heated argument takes place between Alberti and Bernard, but Alberti is forced to give Bernard a large sum of money. Just as Bernard is counting the money the police break in upon them. There is a short but decisive duel with pistols and Bernard is killed and Lydia recovers her faculties. She comes to the room where Alberti is being questioned by the officers and appears to Alberti. He believes her to be a ghost of his ward and, in his terror, expires. Later we see Lydia and Vernon at the seaside, happy, and the inference is that they are betrothed, a happy culmination of a tragic story.

- DirectorEduard Schnedler-SørensenStarsAxel BoesenFrederik ChristensenElse FrölichHerbert Jurtel, a celebrated professor of chemistry, is experimenting in his private laboratory when his friend, Robert Osran, a medical student at the professor's hospital, draws Jurtel's attention to a paragraph appearing in a paper announcing that one of the great men of the scientific world will shortly publish a wonderful discovery. The professor, in answer to Robert queries, shows his friend a small bottle of liquid, which he states is the discovery referred to. Robert is invited to dinner, and the Professor happening to go out of the room, he conceives the idea of stealing the precious bottle and substituting for it another. The professor returns, and the two go out to meet Mabel, the host's wife. She takes a great interest in the young student, and it is easy to see the attraction is mutual. Dinner over, Mabel shows her costume for an upcoming masked ball, and Robert, learning the date, makes up his mind to be present. The next day, the professor shows Mabel an announcement in the paper which now says definitely that he is the scientist about to demonstrate his discovery. Robert is announced, and while left alone, Mabel makes violent love to him. He responds, and the two plot to go to the ball together. At his home, the medical student writes a note purporting to come from a woman friend and asking if Mabel will attend the ball in the company of her husband. Mabel shows this communication to her husband, who, believing his wife to be in safe company, readily gives her permission to go. On the evening of the ball, Mabel dresses and departs. Thinking about his wife, of whom he is passionately fond, the professor wanders to her rooms. Sinking into a convenient chair, he idly picks up and scans the letter inviting Mabel to the ball, and which his wife has left out by accident. Something in the writing strikes him as familiar, and concentrating his attention on the note, he is horrified to find that the note has been penned by Robert. He too attends the ball, and sees his wife and friend together. In his haste to avoid detection, he drops his handkerchief, which is found by Mabel, who recognizes her husband has been there. The professor returns home and endures all the agony of silent suffering. The following morning Robert is late at the hospital and the Professor finds on his table the bottle containing the discovery. This he annexes. Some time after, when Robert calls at his house, the professor shows him the bottle and accuses him of theft. Robert proves his innocence by drawing the professor's attention to the substituted bottle on his rack. Mabel thinks now is the time to ascertain her husband's movements on the previous evening, and producing the handkerchief, with an affection of slyness, remarks "So you also went to the ball." The wronged man gazes at his wife and then turning on his heel, passes out. Mabel would fain go after him, but she is arrested by Robert, who bids her call on him that afternoon. She does so soon after Robert has learned from the paper that the professor at four o'clock that day is to demonstrate the discovering. Mabel is temporarily left alone by Robert, and wandering about his rooms, discovers the professor's bottle hidden in a book. Rightly grasping the true state of affairs, she denounces Robert as a thief, and hurries off to her husband's house. Here a number of learned scientists have gathered for the demonstration by the professor. The latter takes down the fateful bottle, becomes suspicious as to its contents, and tests it. The truth is soon known, and believing his beloved wife to be in league against him, he mixes an explosive solution and applies a match. The gathered scientists are startled by a terrific crash, and rushing into the laboratory, find the professor laying on the floor with his life swiftly ebbing away. Soon after this, the wife arrives home, and with a growing presentiment of disaster, rushes into the laboratory. There she finds her husband and seeing that he requires something, offers him the bottle. But he pushes this away, and with that action closes his eyes forever. The day of the funeral arrives and in accordance with his oft-expressed wish, his body is prepared for cremation. Mabel enters the actual cremating room, where the huge casket containing the mortal remains of her husband lies on the runners ready to enter the fire. The furnace door is swung open, the coffin is pushed into the seething flames and the last page of Herbert Jurtel's history has been written. Mabel drags the phial from her clothing, and swinging her arm, attempts to bury the discovery with its master. Too late, the door is shut as Robert steps into the room. Turning to him, Mabel forces the bottle into his hands, telling him he may keep it, then stepping up to the examination door, she peers into the furnace. What she sees may never be written, for blinded with the glare, she drops to the floor motionless. Robert stands for a time watching her, then with a curse at what his actions has resulted in, he dashes the bottle to the ground so that it's contents are decimated, and turning on his heel, passes out to stifle his conscious as best he can.
- DirectorAlfred LindStarsRasmus OttesenEmilie OtterdahlLili BeckThe Flying Circus was the largest traveling artist band in the country, and among its favorite artists were the rope-dancer, Laurento and the snake tamer, Ula Kiri. The hot blooded gypsy snake tamer is passionately in love with the attractive young man, hut he does not quite return her feelings. She is hasty and ill-tempered, and not far from being cruel to those depending on her. For the first time the Flying Circus pitches its tents in a small country town. The daughter of the mayor attends. The rope dancer meets her and for him it is a case of love at first sight, and he decides to do all in his power to win her. That night a great fire breaks out in the town, and the flying embers ignite the home of the mayor. The townspeople strive to deflect the flames, but all in vain. The mansion is doomed to destruction and it seems that the mayor's daughter must perish. At this juncture Laurento beats his way through the flames and scales the wall, and, picking up the frantic maiden, jumps to the mesh of telegraph wires outside the window. Carrying his burden over the fragile wires, he saves her amid the frantic cheers of the populace. The grateful mayor makes him a welcome guest, and he soon wins the heart of the young girl, but he has yet to obtain the father's consent. He worries continually about this problem, and not even at home can he rest in peace, for Ula Kiri, who feels that her beloved friend is sliding away from her, keeps tormenting him with jealousy and mockery. At last he plucks up his courage and goes to the mayor. The latter is friendly to the young man, but he compels the rope dancer to leave with a vague promise for the future. If circumstances, should alter. A capital idea strikes the young man to obtain money. He arranges to do a rope dance to the church tower. The circus director is delighted with the idea. The great day arrives, and the people of the town gather around the church. The rope dancer cannot forget Erna's sorrowful eyes and pale face as he walks along the flaccid rope towards the dizzy height. A snake has escaped and its body bars the way to the entrance to the tower. The snake tamer has, in her mad jealousy, forgotten all about her duties, and this negligence now proves fatal. Erna implores her in vain to call back the reptile, as she is the only one that can do it, but Ula Kiri will not listen to her in her storm of jealousy and hatred. But Erna overcomes all difficulties. Her great love teaches her what to do, and thus she saves her sweetheart. The mayor can no longer withhold his consent to the marriage and the same evening the Flying Circus goes away to the other regions, leaving a happy couple in the country town.

- DirectorGeorge NicholsStarsMarguerite SnowFlorence La BadieJames CruzeSilas Croft was a kindly old Englishman who had a farm in South Africa. With him resided his two nieces, whom he had taken from their drunken, worthless father when they were of a tender age. Jess, the elder, was brilliant and educated; Bess, the younger was beautiful, but frankly admitted that she did not possess the mental attainments of Jess. The two were great friends, and Jess, although the senior by only three years, had almost a motherly affection for her pretty little sister. Croft, finding old age stealing upon him, advertised for a partner, stipulating that he must be a gentleman. Probably it was his secret idea that the right man might come along, and fall in love with his favorite, beautiful Bessie. Captain John Neil, an English army officer, who had found his income insufficient to support him in his profession, heard of the business opportunity and accepted it. Jess, the unimpressionable, speedily fell in love with him, and her womanly intuition told her that she could win him, for he was fascinated by her. The girl was happy for a while, but suddenly learned that her little sister was also in love with the handsome Englishman. The elder sister realized that happiness for her, meant sorrow, probably life-long sorrow, for Bess. Accustomed to making sacrifices for the girl she so tenderly loved, Jess made another. On the pretext of a visit to an old school friend, she absented herself from home, knowing that Neil would be bound to fall in love with Bess, who was beautiful and amiable. The expected happened. At the time Jess departed, Neil liked both girls, but preferred Jess. Thrown into daily companionship with Bess, he soon grew to love her, and made her happy by proposing to her. And little sister wrote to big sister, telling her the glorious news, never even suspecting the truth. Jess received the letter in her place of refuge, and rejoiced that she had been able to ensure the happiness of Bess, while at the same time she wept in secret over the fate that had taken all romance out of her young life. At this time, the rebellion which freed the Transvaal from British rule was brewing. Croft, who at first doubted that any trouble was impending, at last realizes the gravity of the situation, and Neil consents to go to Pretoria and bring Jess home before it is too late. The gallant soldier arrives in the city, but is unable to leave with his charge, because the Boers have besieged the place, and even couriers cannot pierce the lines. A certain Frank Muller, son of a Boer and an Englishwoman, is one of the leaders in the revolt. He had proposed to Bess and been rejected. Learning that his successful rival is in Pretoria, he plans to dispose of him. Pretending great friendliness, he sends Neil a pass for Jess and himself, signed by Oom Paul Kruger. The unsuspecting Englishman falls into the trap, and with the girl, leaves under the charge of a Boer escort, furnished by Muller. These men have been tricked into believing that Kruger has ordered that the couple be killed, and while they are crossing a river, fire upon them and believe they are slain. Jess and Neil, however, have a miraculous escape. Following the crossing of the river under fire, on their way to Pretoria, Jess and Neil become separated, and the girl reaches the farm alone. There she finds that the villain Muller has been ahead of her, and that her uncle is a prisoner, on a charge of treason. Muller, who is military head of the district, tells Bess that Croft will be convicted and hanged unless Bess consents to marry him. The girl, however, refuses, the court-martial is held, and when Jess arrives, her uncle is under sentence to die at dawn, a few hours away. There is no one to whom she can appeal, and Jess, grief-stricken, decides to be her own avenger. Muller is asleep in his tent, waiting for the dawn when the last of the protectors of the girl he covets shall be separated from her by death. He awakes with a start. Bending over him is Jess. He believes it is a visitor from another world, for he could have sworn that he had seen her die a horrible death. Stricken with terror, unable to speak or make a motion, he goes to his death, his last thought being that there is a life beyond the grave, and that evil brings its own punishment. Jess wanders away into the desert and dies. Neil, searching, finds the body. The troubles of the others are finally swept away, and Neil and Bess live happily many years in their English home, never realizing that they owe everything to the self-sacrificing Jess, although they sincerely mourn and miss her.
