Oh no, what is this world coming to when you can't trust your mistress to stay faithful?In 1926, Paramount distributed an edited version of this film in the United States.

Implied Rape: Artinelli and Bertha-Marie's relationship seems to begin with him raping her. Apparently, she's just into that because she's with him willingly afterwards.

How We Got Here: The film starts off with Huller in prison for murder. The majority of the film is his account of how he ended up there.
