Strobl was the editor of a German horror fiction magazine called Der Orchideengarten which was said to have been influenced by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Strobl was an anti-Semitic and later willingly joined the Nazi Party, which may explain why he has become an obscure literary figure today.[2] The film's art direction was by Hans Dreier, and Carl Hoffmann handled the cinematography. Hoffmann went on to collaborate with such noted German directors as Fritz Lang and F.W. Murnau.[3] It was filmed at the Babelsberg Studio in Berlin. Very little is known of the plot of this film, but actor Erik Charrell plays a gorilla in the film and Conrad Veidt plays "the Clown". The film is of note since it co-starred both Wegener and Veidt in the same movie, both of whom later went on to star in two different film versions of The Student of Prague (1913 and 1926 respectively)[4]. Director Richard Oswald later cast Wegener in his 1932 film Uncanny Stories.[5] Cast
