He does win but there are a few who are determined he shall not reach home with his money. Paul also suffers from a bad heart and with the stress he feels from being set upon, he takes refuge at an inn. He seals the money up in an envelope addressed to Lizette Rouget but dies before he can deliver it safely to her. Lizette is now destitute, Jean having long ago deserted her but the ghost of Paul continues to haunt the inn's bedroom to guard the money from "unworthy hands".

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a drama around a simple yet gripping moral dilemma, relying on the contrast between earthly greed and supernatural loyalty. Through concise intertitles and expressive acting, it explores themes of sacrifice and a duty that transcends death.
What lingers after viewing is the atmosphere of a silent parable, where tension arises from a mounting sense of doom and poignant longing. The clarity of this sad tale about love, betrayal, and posthumous guardianship leaves a distinct impression. — MovieFinder Editorial
