The Mad Genius
Cruel passions! Mad longings! A monster playing with the souls of his fellow beings!
A crippled puppeteer rescues an abused young boy and turns the boy into a great ballet dancer. Complications ensue when, as a young man, the dancer falls in love with a young woman the puppeteer is also in love with.
