About this work

The proud old doorman of a grand hotel is judged too old by the manager and demoted to washroom attendant. His neighbours and family mock him once they learn he has hidden the demotion, and in his grief he retreats to the washroom, where only the night watchman shows him kindness. In an epilogue, introduced by the film's only title card, he inherits a fortune from an eccentric millionaire who died in his arms. Carl Mayer wrote the script, Karl Freund shot it and Emil Jannings played the doorman.

دربان پیر و مغرور هتلی بزرگ را مدیر هتل به‌دلیل پیری برکنار می‌کند و به متصدی سرویس بهداشتی تنزل می‌دهد. همسایگان و خانواده‌اش وقتی می‌فهمند او این تنزل را پنهان کرده مسخره‌اش می‌کنند و او غمگین به همان سرویس بهداشتی پناه می‌برد، جایی که تنها نگهبان شب با او مهربان است. در پایان‌بندی فیلم، تنها میان‌نویس فیلم خبر می‌دهد که او از میلیونری عجیب‌وغریب که در آغوشش مرده ثروتی به ارث برده است. فیلم‌نامه را کارل مایر نوشت، کارل فروند فیلم‌برداری کرد و امیل یانینگز نقش دربان را بازی کرد.
