René Clair's last silent feature became one of the most ambitious and successful film of the silent era. The simple plot about two rivals in love – a shy attorney and an unscrupulous man whom the attorney once sent to prison instead of securing him an acquittal – is accompanied by Clair's visual virtuosity.
