When a travelling troupe threatens to unleash a saucy Berlin revue on the provincial town of Emilsburg, the local Morality Society, a band of sanctimonious middle-aged men, stages a protest. Meanwhile, the reigning monarch is concerned that his son and heir is not living his life to the full. Ninon d’Hauteville, a showgirl and the revue’s star attraction, takes a job as piano teacher to the young prince after her engagement at the local theatre was brought to a premature end, a result of the Morality Society’s interference. It doesn’t take long for those hypocrites to get wind of this. While on the outside they appear to be concerned with running the immoral woman out of their town, behind closed doors they rank among the new piano teacher’s most ardent pupils. However, Ninon, out to right the wrong done against her, secretly keeps a “diary” of their visits, recording each encounter on film with a hidden camera.
Hedwig and Lola, two sisters of opposite temperaments, have their lives upended in when Lola decides to pursue prostitution and Hedwig is forced into it.
Several variety show acts perform in front of the camera.
a silent movie by Heinz Paul
A loose, unauthorized adaptation of the 1896 novel The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells. Somewhat illogical, the film has more emphasis on comedy and romance than horror, but offers "memorable glimpses of human-animal hybrids".
A spirited young countess defies social conventions by climbing trees and dancing with peasant children. During a countryside outing, she meets a charming stranger-unaware he's a prince-and later encounters him again at court.
