The White Demon

The White Demon tells the story of an opera star, Gerda, and her brother, who takes her to a sanitarium to address her drug addiction. However, their plans take a dark turn when they become entangled with a dope peddler named Peter Lorre, who fears exposure and resorts to kidnapping. This creates a tense chase as Gerda’s brother fights to rescue her.
