*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
(May Contain Spoilers, if you actually get to see it one of these days).
Shocking, silent film, which, not unlike "Reefer Madness", tells a cautionary tale of the perils entailed by drug use. A young couple is corrupted by a mysterious Doctor, who gets the Young Man in trouble to gain the favors (the title cards tell us something to that effect) of the Young Girl. A strange sexual tension can be felt a couple of times during the movie.
Has some notorious sequences, including an "underground vice den" where syringes and smoke are pervasive (there are even some beds in the foreground that seem to be opium beds), and strange patrons fill the landscape.
A subplot has a Kid detective and his sidekick chasing a hooded Bandido Gang which, at the end, becomes something of comic relief.
Maybe the most direct and clear reference to drug abuse in Mexican Cinema. Certainly Unusual for it's time, and a milestone in Mexican Moviemaking. Recently restored by the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Filmoteca. Watch This One if you Can!!!!
