Professor Emmaras (Emil Jannings) ) teaches in a school with strict school ethos and many rules, and so does his own character. Having followed the rules all his life, what he can't stand the most is the students' unruly behavior. By chance, Emmaras learned that a group of his students were going to watch a cabaret performance. He was furious and immediately decided to go to the theater to catch these unruly boys. What the professor didn't expect was that his move would forever change his fate for the rest of his life. Laura (played by Marlene Dietrich) is the heartthrob in the theater. Almost all men can't help but fall under her pomegranate skirt, and Professor Emmaras is no exception. When he saw Laura for the first time in the theater, he fell into a deep infatuation with her and could not extricate himself. After a hard pursuit, Laura finally became the bride of Emmaras. The disparity in personality and status between the two also set the tone for the tragedy that was about to happen.
