Der Mann, der lacht (1928)
England im Jahr 1690: Weil Gwynplaines Vater, ein einflussreicher Edelmann, den König beleidigt haben soll, wird dieser zum Tode durch die Eiserne Jungfrau verurteilt. Gwynplaine selbst wird durch die Hand eines Meisterchirurgen grausam entstellt: Durch ein künstlich geschaffenes irres Grinsen soll er ewig über die Torheit seines Vaters lachen...
