Directed by G.W. Pabst | Starring: Werner Krauß, Albert Steinrück, Lucie Mannheim, Ilka Grüning

On the surface a straightforward tale of the search for a buried treasure, the film is a textbook example of German expressionism, with the passions of the protagonists conveyed as much through symbolism as action.
