Phantom der Oper (1943)
Das Schicksal meint es nicht gut mit dem sensiblen und sehr schüchternen Musiker Claudin: Sein Lebenswerk, ein romantisches Konzertstück nach einem alten Volkslied, hat man ihm, wie er glaubt, gestohlen. Bei einem Streit darüber verliert der verzweifelte Komponist sämtliche Beherrschung und tötet seinen Widersacher. Durch Säure wird Claudins Gesicht schrecklich entstellt. Verwundet und als Mörder gejagt, kann er in die Katakomben unter der Pariser Oper entkommen. Das unerforschliche Labyrinth der geheimen Gänge und Verliese ist von nun ab seine Welt. Bei seinen Ausflügen an die Oberfläche versetzt er in der Maske des "Phantoms" die Oper zunehmend in Angst und Schrecken. Als ihn seine Liebe zur jungen Sängerin Christine endgültig in den Wahnsinn treibt, schreckt er auch vor Anschlägen nicht mehr zurück. Er verschleppt die Angebetete hinab in sein dunkles Reich, wo die beiden ein dramatisches Finale erwartet...
