The Dance of Death

An apparently lost film, this tale centers on a captivating dancer whose sensual allure is weaponized by a malevolent, crippled mastermind to draw men to their deaths. She falls for one of the prospective victims, and the cripple coldly assures her that she will gain her freedom only if her lover—who is himself a murderer—survives and escapes a labyrinth that winds beneath the cripple's house.
