L'Inconnu (1927)
Le lanceur de couteaux Alonzo travaille dans un cirque sous le nom de scène de l'« Homme sans bras ». En réalité, il a toujours ses bras mais les dissimule pour donner plus d'effet à son numéro. Estrellita, sa partenaire, ne supporte pas les mains des hommes. Par amour pour elle, mais aussi pour échapper à la police, Alonzo décide de se faire réellement amputer des deux bras. Après l'opération, il découvre que la jeune fille, guérie de sa peur, aime son rival, Malabar, dont elle est devenue la partenaire. Désespéré, Alonzo tentera de le tuer lors de leur premier numéro...
