Such Men Are Dangerous

On her wedding night, Elinor (Catherine Dale Owen) has second thoughts about her wedding to Ludwig (Warner Baxter). He is generous in some ways but a cold fish in most...and she realizes he did little to win her heart. Instead of staying and talking to Ludwig about this like any normal person, she disappears...jilting him on their wedding night.

Ludwig's reaction to this is odd to say the least. He arranges for credit for a couple men and then disappears...and most assume he died when he fell out of a plane. Instead, he had a parachute and now is going to see a foremost plastic surgeon (Bela Lugosi) to have himself completely remade so that no one...particularly Elinor...would recognize him. What is his plan beyond this? See the film.

This movie is interesting but also one where if BOTH people had simply talked to each other, things would have worked out fine. To accept the story, you need to accept that Ludwig and Elinor are both a bit dumb...an inherent weakness in the story. Still, it is worth seeing...mostly because the plot is so strange and unusual.
