A circus clown (Lon Chaney Snr.) tries to hide his personal real life tragedy by being a clown in a troupe of circus clowns. He falls in love with a bareback rider (Norman Shearer) in the process which ends up with tragic consequences.
A very odd, good quality, creepy and poetic drama from Swedish director Victor Sjostrom with Chaney once again going through a physicial transformative process to create his appearance. The dream sequence is particularly creepy.
