Ghost Train
Mismatched travellers are stranded overnight at a lonely rural railway station.

The travelers eventually get to the bottom of the things that go bump in the night.

Cyanide
Drama based on a play by Friedrich Wolf. Hete is pregnant, hoping to have a family with her fiancé Paul. When the factory where she and Paul work sacks all striking workers, she tries to find a legal abortion. But there is only the illegal option - the eponymous cyanide.

A Daughter Of Destiny
Hanns Heinz Ewers' grim science-fiction novel Alraune has already been filmed twice when this version was assembled in 1928. In another of his "mad doctor" roles, Paul Wegener plays Professor Brinken, sociopathic scientist who combines the genes of an executed murderer with those of a prostitute. The result is a beautiful young woman named Alraune (Brigitte Helm), who is incapable of feeling any real emotions -- least of all guilt or regret. Upon attaining adulthood, Alraune sets about to seduce and destroy every male who crosses her path. Ultimately, Professor Brinken is hoist on his own petard when he falls hopelessly in love with Alraune himself. Alraune was remade in 1930, with Brigitte Helm repeating her role, and again in 1951, with Hildegarde Knef as the "heroine" and Erich von Stroheim as her misguided mentor.

The Upright Sinner

Haunted by remorse, he launches his own investigation. (Filmed in German on the same sets as Murder! (1930), this version was directed by Alfred Hitchcock with a new cast for international release.)
