"This is a terribly sad and haunting silent movie about a man who is part of a circus 🎪 🤡 troupe. He will go to any lengths to possess a woman that he believes he loves. Lon Chaney does an incredible job as a tormented man who believes that only the love of one woman can save him from his dark thoughts and lonely life."
