We visit a decrepit theater whose contents are being auctioned. Booming, ominous organ music blares with the introductory credits. A man talks about "strange occurrences" in a theater and refers to ghosts. A woman talks of the time when her father lay dying (we see him in bed and she, as a young girl, sits next to him). A woman sees a mannequin painted and dressed to look like her, she faints, and a man catches her and carries her to a bed. A painting shows a woman holding a platter with a severed head on it (blood is painted around the neck). The relationship is not clear, but a man appears to be holding a woman captive, although she does not protest initially. A woman sprays something into her throat that makes her croak while she is trying to sing. A heavy theater curtain is untied and it falls to the stage knocking people down. Someone locks a woman in a room, the candles blow out and the woman hears a man singing she appears to walk through a mirror, walks hand-in-hand with a man through darkened passageways that lead to a boat in water, and they sail through other passageways until they find a cavern. A woman fears that she will be taken away by a man and that he will kill her. A woman caresses a man's face, he leans into her hand, and the woman pulls a mask off the man's face revealing a badly scarred and malformed features the man becomes very angry, throws the woman to the floor and yells at her (she cowers). A man on a horse chases a woman in a carriage. A man falls through a hole in the floor, and another man follows, holding a sword. A man pushes a sword against a man's stomach and threatens others. Two men fight with swords, they thrash and slash at each other (one is slashed on the arm spilling a bit of blood), one falls to the ground, and the other holds his sword above him. A man's mask is removed to reveal a badly scarred and malformed face he cuts a rope that holds a large chandelier, the fixture swings back and forth - over an audience that screams and rushes to get out of the way - and it crashes to the floor.
We see a boy with a bag over his head in a cage, as an attraction of "freaks" in a traveling show (he is called "the devil's child"): a man kicks and whips the boy with a stick, and the boy's bag is lifted for paying customers to look at his gruesome features. A man wraps a rope around a man's throat, lashes him to a gate and threatens to kill him. A man falls through a hole in the floor and into water, he is pushed under water by a grate and he struggles to lift it before he drowns. A theater begins to burn, people run in panic, a man lies dead on the floor and a woman grieves over his body. A rope is wrapped around a man's throat, it is pulled, and the man falls to the floor dead. VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man is chased through the catwalks above a theater stage, he jumps and swings from ropes, a rope is wrapped around his neck, the man is pushed over the side, he falls and jerks (we see his feet jerk and hear people screaming). Women wear low-cut, off-the-shoulders dresses that reveal cleavage and bare shoulders. A woman's skirt is sheer and when it is backlit the outline of her legs is evident. A woman's stocking top, garter belt and bare thigh are seen when her skirt hangs open. Women's theatrical costumes are flesh toned and have patterns that outline their cleavage and nipples. Men in theatrical costumes are bare-chested and women expose bare abdomens and cleavage when they wear short tops. Men admire younger women dancing and make suggestive remarks.
Men and woman dance together, one man lifts a woman's skirt and climbs under it (it is not certain what, if anything, happens). A woman playing a part as a pageboy caresses another woman's side and it is implied that the characters kiss while hiding behind a fan. A man and a woman express their love for each other and kiss. A woman caresses a man's face, and he leans into her hand (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details). A man holds a woman, caresses her hip, abdomen and thigh and she swoons. A man caresses a woman's throat and cheek. A man and a woman kiss and hug each other. Men and women kiss and caress each other. A man flashes his bare buttocks at passing people. SEX/NUDITY 4 - We see many statues of nude men and women revealing bare breasts and chests, buttocks and abdomens in several scenes.
