Plot
A circus knife-thrower pretends to have no arms to hide his fingerprints, and is in love with the circus owner's daughter, who cannot bear to be touched.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tod Browning's silent horror stars Lon Chaney as an armless knife-thrower with a terrible secret. Macabre and bizarre with a young Joan Crawford, it is a creepy, twisted showcase for Chaney's genius.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
