Joe May's 1929 drama is a masterpiece of German film of the silent era, providing a stylized look at Berlin nightlife and an inspiration for countless films noirs to follow. Betty Amann (NANCY DREW...REPORTER) stars as a poor but well-dressed woman who steals a valuable jewel while distracting the store owner with her charms. A naive but good-looking traffic cop (Gustav Froehlich) catches her, but his attempts to arrest her are thwarted by her attempts at seduction, which are eventually, inevitably, successful.
