Between Heaven and Earth is a German silent film by Otto Rippert from 1913.
action
On the top of a factory chimney that has just been built, the engineer Olaf and the insidious administrator Erdmann von Erdmannsdorf fight a life and death duel. At the center of the dispute is Inge von Britz, divorced Countess von Gleichen. The young woman is the daughter of the factory owner. The manager tries by all means to get Olaf to give up, but he doesn't even think about it.
Now the manager is resorting to insidious means. First he secretly loosens the crampons inside the chimney, then Erdmann also throws down the rope and pulley of the elevator - the only alternative to leaving the chimney that remains now. In “justified self-defense”, Olaf then overcomes his opponent and drops a message. It asks to raise a paper kite to which a rope is attached. With this rope the resourceful engineer descends inside the chimney.
