Erpressung (1941)
Anna Holm ist eine kalte und berechnende Frau, deren eine Gesichtshälfte infolge eines Hausbrands in frühester Jugend gräßlich entstellt ist, was ihre Mitmenschen abstößt. Sie führt eine Gaststätte, nützt das Etablissement jedoch dafür, wohlhabene Gäste um ihre Geheimnisse zu erleichtern und sie anschließend damit zu erpressen. Eines Abends macht sie so die Bekanntschaft von gleich zwei Menschen, die ihr Leben verändern werden
