Synopsis in German
Der Maler Paul Mauthner ist an Syphilis erkrankt. Von einem Kurpfuscher angeblich geheilt, verführt Paul die Braut seines Bruders Georg und steckt diese prompt an. Während die Frau ihrer Krankheit erliegt, flieht Paul. Ihre Tochter, die aus der Affäre entstanden ist, ist ebenfalls mit Syphilis infiziert, kann aber in einer Spezialklinik geheilt werden. Während sie später den Sohn des behandelnden Arztes heiratet, stirbt der von der Krankheit gezeichnete Paul in ihren Armen. (www.filmportal.de)
