Man's great adversary

August Blom, 1913, 36 min
Director Cordt is in love with Wilda, the daughter of a councillor's widow. Much to his annoyance, Wilda casts longing glances at the actor Frits – played by Valdemar Psilander – instead. But Cordt has a plan: if Wilda is to lose interest in Frits, she must discover for herself his true nature as a carefree and financially irresponsible performer, and thereby realize that she is far better suited to Cordt. With considerable cunning, Cordt begins pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The film features Dutch intertitles and Danish subtitles.
