Lau Lauritzen Sr., Denmark, 1919

DK/FeatureDramaSilent films

The famous dancer Elva Marja is hotly pursued by man-of-the-world Henry Corner. He follows her from city to city, buying up all the theatre tickets so that she must perform for him alone, and besieges her house. Elva rejects him time and time again, but Henry’s passion can’t be restrained.
One day, Elva is surprised by a burglar in her house. Henry happens to be nearby, so he sees his opportunity to finally win over the dancer’s heart.
