Year0

Duration72min.

Prof. Moralski delivers an angry speech at the ‘Association for the Suppression of Cinematography’. Newspapers print his tirade against the coarsening of taste caused by cinema. When film producer Flimmer reads the article, he and his director decide on a plan for revenge... With his alter ego Harry Peel, who becomes a saviour in tailcoat and top hat and with his tried-and-tested daredevil manner, Piel establishes his stardom as an actor in 1919. He experiences ADVENTURE ONE NIGHT when he saves young Hetty from suicide and helps her escape from an unhappy and involuntary marriage. With the powerful support of a women's boxing club, Peel puts an end to Hetty's blackmailing husband.
(Hemma Marlene Prainsack)
