Flesh and the Devil

“Passion ran like wine in their blood!”

In a German town, Leo von Harden (John Gilbert) comes home from military training with his lifelong friend Ulrich von Eltz (Lars Hanson). At a railway station Leo sees Felicitas (Greta Garbo), and a scandal follows that sends him away for three years. Clarence Brown tells of two men who have shared everything, and of what happens to that kind of loyalty once a woman stands between them.
