Varieté Overview

Imprisoned for murder, former trapeze artist and sideshow barker Boss Hueller (Jannings) recounts his crime to the warden. Conveyed via flashback, we see Huller’s abandonment of his wife (Maly Delschaft) and child for the young, sultry Berta-Marie (De Putti). The two run off together and Huller forms a new touring trapeze act, with his lover as the star attraction. But when Artinelli (Warwick Ward)—a new performer—joins the show, rage bubbles over.
