Storyline
For Balduin, going out to beer parties with his fellow students and fighting out disputes at the tip of the sword have lost their charms. He wants to find love; but how would he, a penniless student, ever dare looking up to any woman worth of loving? Absorbed in his dreary thoughts and indifferent to the advances of Lyduschka, Balduin is unexpectedly offered a fortune by the mysterious money-lender Scapinelli - but on a strange condition...

A student's life in 19th century Prague wasn't quite easy without money. On the one hand side the sons of rich people are making a fool of Balduin (Conrad Veidt) on the other side the poor student himself, fallen in love with duke Schwarzenberg's daughter. Shadows between two trees, and the appearing of a dark man with an indecent offer. The fight against the devil (alis mammon). A mysterious atmosphere with pathetic actors. One of the most popular German silent-movies!!
