The Black Domino

Ubekendt, Denmark, 1910

13 min.DK/Short fictionCrime film, DramaSilent films

A young man finds himself at loggerheads with his friend after he has tried to kiss his wife and at the same time turns out to be a common thief. When they meet again several years later, the villain has become a member of the crime gang called The Black Domino. By a nefarious trick, the villain gains access to his old friends’ villa and pretends to reconcile with them, while his hooded, cloaked and masked cronies prepare to kidnap the man as soon as he steps out the door.

The film’s plot is somewhat unclear, as it only contains a single intertitle. Nor has the film programme been preserved, which would otherwise reveal the full action.
