William I is on the run from Napoleon. In Frankfurt, he gives obligations, worth £600,000, to Mayer Amschel Rothschild so he can carry them to England into safety. Rothschild instead uses the money to make profits for himself. After a decade, the Rothschilds had accumulated a fortune of £11 million. Finally, they join forces with the commissioner of the British treasury to enslave all of Europe. The film ends with a burning Star of David over a map showing the major cities of Europe.

The film is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House. The film uses Ibsen's alternate ending.

When she was a little girl, Liuba came to town with her widowed mother to live in the block of flats owned by her aunt Anna Iwanowna. The wealthy and cold-hearted Anna Iwanowna barely accepted them as tenants. And no sooner did Liuba's mother die than she wanted to send her niece to the orphanage. Fortunately, Pawlin, Anna Iwanowna's janitor, decided to adopt her and he brought her up with affection. When she grew up, the beautiful Liuba fell in love with her aunt's son, Dodja.
