In London's limousine district, a Chinese merchant falls in love with the daughter of a tyrannical proletarian boxer. Their romance ends deadly for everyone involved. After the founding of United Artists by silent movie stars Charles Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and director David Wark Griffith, this melodrama was one of the first films to be distributed by the young company.
Dieser Film, in dem sich alles Beschriebene dem Ausdruck unterordnet, ist (…) das unbestreitbare Meisterwerk Griffiths. Unter der Oberfläche eines Melodramas, das sich zu einem Poem, einer zauberhaften Kantilene wandelt, besitzt er die unerschütterliche Strenge einer antiken Tragödie
