"The aged porter of a high-class hotel proudly wears his uniform as a symbol of the prestige of his job. He is revered by his courtyard community. Then, because of his age, the porter is demoted to washroom attendant. He cannot bear this humiliation and loss of status, so he tries to conceal his demotion. Eventually someone from his community discovers him in his new position. Just when the porter reaches his lowest point, the film ends with a turn of fortune making him a millionaire." Director: F.W. Murnau. Cast: Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller, Emil Jannings. Black & White. No subtitles.
