La mandragoraHanns Heinz Ewers' grim science-fiction novel Alraune has already been filmed twice when this version was assembled in 1928. In another of his "mad doctor" roles, Paul Wegener plays Professor Brinken, sociopathic scientist who combines the genes of an executed murderer with those of a prostitute. The result is a beautiful young woman named Alraune (Brigitte Helm), who is incapable of feeling any real emotions -- least of all guilt or regret. Upon attaining adulthood, Alraune sets about to seduce and destroy every male who crosses her path. Ultimately, Professor Brinken is hoist on his own petard when he falls hopelessly in love with Alraune himself. Alraune was remade in 1930, with Brigitte Helm repeating her role, and again in 1951, with Hildegarde Knef as the "heroine" and Erich von Stroheim as her misguided mentor.

Nel corso di un Banchetto non riesce a distogliere lo sguardo dalla bella figliastra Salomè.

Il carretto fantasmaUna notte di Capodanno. In punto di morte, una militante dell'Esercito della Salvezza chiede di rivedere il suo protetto David, che si sta ubriacando in un cimitero, evocando l'antica credenza del carretto fantasma e del suo cocchiere, che conduce i morti nell'aldilà: il carro passa di mano ogni notte di San Silvestro, e a guidarlo è sempre l'ultima anima che, allo scoccare della mezzanotte, sia morta in peccato. David, colpito da una bottiglia, crolla a terra. Passa il carro, e il fantasma cocchiere si ferma a esaminare il passato di David, che ripercorriamo insieme a lui. Di fronte a quei tristi ricordi, l'uomo piange, e la sua protettrice supplica il cocchiere di lasciarlo andare. Inflessibile, il fantasma con la falce lo fa risalire sul carro; ma passando davanti alla casa di David, i due vedono attraverso la finestra che la moglie di lui si sta avvelenando. David prega il cocchiere di risparmiarla: la sincerità del suo cuore fa sì che la preghiera sia esaudita.

The Devil and the StatueAt the beginning of the scene Romeo in his gondola sings to Juliet a sentimental song, then goes away. Hardly has he departed when the colonnade falls to pieces, disclosing the devil. Juliet, frightened, runs to the window and calls Romeo. The latter attempts to enter and protect his fiancée, but at a gesture from the devil the window is instantly covered with a grating and Romeo makes frantic efforts to break it. The devil begins to dance a wild dance before Juliet, who is beside herself from terror. The devil gradually becomes the size of a giant (a novel effect). Juliet implores the statue of Madonna, which becomes animated, descends from its pedestal, and stretching out its arms orders the devil to disappear. (Méliès Catalog)

The Clock-Maker's SecretThe town-crier summons the inhabitants of the town and they read a manifesto which is posted on a wall announcing the fact that at 4 o'clock on that day the Lord Mayor will receive bids for the building of a town clock.

The Knight of the SnowOne of the last films Georges Méliès made. By now, he was under contract for his former rival Pathé, where he made a few of his most lavish productions, including this one. Here, Méliès performed in front of the camera as the Devil […]. His incarnation of Satan this time is a sprightly antagonist who kidnaps a princess by locking her in a cage and taking off through the sky in a dragon-pulled carriage. […]

One-Eyed LikhoThe plot is the embodiment of everyday belief about the impact of a certain evil force on a person. The action develops in a peasant environment.
