Living in seclusion in the mountains, the phys- icist Gaston saves a group of mountaineers who get into difficulties purely by the power of his teeth: the action hero Luciano Albertini pulls them up a cliff on a rope. When he falls in love with Edy, her banker father finally agrees to finance Gaston’s invention: a machine that uses radio waves to prevent trains colliding with each other ... In 1924 the Weimarer Presse wrote that this film shot in the Elbe Sandstone Moun- tains was: “Breathtakingly sensational, glorious images of nature combines with an extremely exciting story (...)”. It is preceded by another of Harold Lloyd’s famous hair-raising comedies. A firework of gags!
