In the Clutches of the Soviets (1926)
Day in and day out, factory worker Wolfer enjoys his luxurious life. But one day he wakes up after another night of drinking and is horrified to learn that the October Revolution has taken place. It took away the manufacturer's luxurious life. Wolfer's mansion, jewelry, and excess clothes were requisitioned. In the end, the manufacturer has to sweep the streets. He flees to Paris, where he finds a job in a circus with great difficulty.
