Meant to be a diatribe against yellow journalism and current social ills, this weakly limned drama by Josef von Baky features a reporter who works for one of the tabloid papers. The reporter digs up dirt on the past life of a local hotel owner, and wanting to take full advantage of the muck, he strings out his revelations in a series of perjorative, damning articles on the man. The result of this campaign turns out to be much worse than simply ruining the hotel owner's reputation.
Sam Murphy and Jack Fenton find an old message in a bottle that shipwrecked threw into the water 100 years ago. Out of curiosity, they look for the island and are surprised to meet people here. Love confusion quickly occurs, and Fenton and Murphy want to leave the island with their friends. But they have the bill without the jealous fiancé Douglas and certainly not with Pat and Patachon who are on the island police, fire brigade and musicians in one person...
German silent film
Sir Robert Chiltern is a successful Government minister, well-off and with a loving wife. All this is threatened when Mrs Cheveley appears in London with damning evidence of a past misdeed. Sir Robert turns for help to his friend Lord Goring, an apparently idle philanderer and the despair of his father. Goring knows the lady of old, and, for him, takes the whole thing pretty seriously.
