"Love rivalry between railway workers almost leads to tragedy." Pierre,a railroad man ,has a penchant for the innkeeper ;but Jacques,his best friend ,is jealous ,for he is in love with her too.The so called buddy takes Pierre to the cafe and gets him drunk.Then he lays his body down on the tracks and a freight train is coming!
In this eternal story of love triangle ,Léonce Perret uses ,for a few seconds ,the split screen ;there's also an attempt at making a horror and fantasy denouement (the murderer thinks he sees his victim's specter and he goes mad) but the director is not as good as Feuillade in this field.
