Alonzo is de armloze messenwerper bij het circus en wordt verliefd op de mooie Nanon. Nanon is bang voor mensen met armen, dus houdt ze ook van Alonzo. Stiekem heeft Alonzo eigenlijk wel armen (die hij altijd in zijn jas heeft verstopt), dus besluit hij ze te laten amputeren, zodat hij werkelijk met Nanon kan leven.

    I think Todd Browning is a great director and this is proof of it, because in just 60 minutes I managed to get emotional, feel suspense and cry.
