The Beggar from Cologne Cathedral Synopsis
During the Cologne carnival in Germany, Interpol inspector Tom Wilkins, master of disguise, hunts a band of jewelry thieves who haunt the cathedral square, disguised as beggars.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"The Beggar from Cologne Cathedral" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
