Storyline
Life's merry-go-round goes full tilt for Agnes, a virtuous carny at Vienna's Prater just before the Great War. Her father is abused by their cruel boss, Huber, who may force himself on Agnes. A Count who's engaged to the daughter of the minister of defense chats up Agnes one night while he's slumming; she thinks he's Franz, a necktie salesman, and she falls in love with him. Is he using charm and guile to seduce her? Plus there's Bartholomew, a hunchback who's a barker at the Prater; his love for Agnes is unrequited. Are the fates blind or is there reward for virtue?

Trivia
A Super Jewel Production. Universal, lacking a proprietary theater chain, used a 3-tiered branding system to market its feature product to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low-budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream releases) and Jewel (prestige productions). As one of the few "Super Jewels", this film was virtually assured special treatment by exhibitors who would normally demand higher roadshow ticket prices. Universal would cease to brand its films by late 1929. See more »Soundtracks

A Stroheim project that was taken from him due to the usual excessive spending, and it suffers under the hand of the less flamboyant Rupert Julian. Von Stroheim would have had the marriage between Count von Hohenegg take place in a cathedral, witnessed by thousands of extras dressed in authentic garb right down to their monogrammed skivvies, but Julian makes it look as if it's taking place in a registry office in front of a dozen witnesses. Alternates between conventional romance and bizarre incidentals like a revenge-killer orang-utang.
