El que recibe el bofetón (1924)
Paul Beaumont, científico y humanista, después de muchos años de estudio, descubre una revolucionaria teoría, pero su protector (Marc McDermott) se la roba y, además, seduce a su esposa (Ruth King). La ofensa se sella con una bofetada que provoca las burlas de toda la comunidad científica. Beaumont huye avergonzado y se refugia en un circo, donde se hace famoso como el payaso "que recibe las bofetadas". Los caprichos del destino hacen que una noche se encuentre entre el público su pérfido benefactor, que se muestra interesado por la bella Consuelo (Norma Shearer).
