In pre-World War I Vienna, a prince (Erich von Stroheim, pictured right) sacrifices his love for a penniless musician (Fay Wray) to marry a crippled heiress (ZaSu Pitts).

Von Stroheim's pessimistic view of human nature is fully expressed, as is his keen interest in sex; but the film survives only in mutilated form. Its sequel, The Honeymoon, is believed lost.
