action

The 21-year-old Oliver Mansfeld is the son of a corrupt industrialist. He tries belatedly to graduate from a boarding school. He falls head over heels in love with Verena Angenfort, who is ten years his senior. However, she is married to a much older banker who does business with Oliver's father. Verena and Oliver begin a violent but short-lived affair. Mansfeld does not see through the web of intrigues and entanglements around him in time and ultimately commits suicide.

criticism
