It is often said there is honor among thieves, but not so, as we shall see in this story. Two denizens of the underworld are seen in their squalid furnished room planning a robbery. Their intended victim is known to hold at all times in his safe at home a large sum of money and a wealth of jewels. Gathering together the tools of their nefarious calling, they start off, arriving at the house shortly after the master had retired for the night.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a straightforward narrative, relying on the visual contrast between the conspirators' squalid room and the opulent target's home. It explores the timeless theme of betrayal, where greed swiftly erodes any fleeting sense of honor among thieves.

What lingers after viewing is a concise, almost fable-like quality—a stark reminder that temptation often outweighs loyalty. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: D.W. Griffith
