action
Somewhere in the rural Netherlands. Bailiff Peter van der Vouden is happily married, but threatens to go astray, as he takes a liking to the lovely Susanne, who is married to the local innkeeper Lucas. In order to get rid of the annoying rival, he abuses his state authority and issues a false arrest warrant, with which Lucas ends up behind bars. Then he goes the forbidden path that gives the title to Susanne ...
Peter tries to conquer her erotically and to pull her to bed. But the imprisoned Lucas cannot simply be locked away and breaks out of his cell. Meanwhile, Susanne escapes the clutches of the lustful van der Vouden. After all, the bailiff, who appears to be particularly shrewd and shrewd, has to take a beating twice: from the betrayed innkeeper and from his own wife, who sneaked after her unfaithful husband and caught her rival.
Production notes
The forbidden route passed the censorship on August 16, 1920 and was premiered four days later at Berlin's UT Nollendorfplatz. It was the third film directing of the full-time screenwriter Henrik Galeen, a very atypical, lightweight finger exercise by the Berliner by choice who had become famous for his fantastic subjects.
The film structures were created by Hans Neirath and Friedrich Winckler-Tannenberg.
