The Unknown background

The Unknown

A ruthless fugitive finds refuge in a traveling circus, becoming obsessed with claiming the ringmaster's daughter as his own at any expense.

Alonzo, a seemingly armless knife thrower and gun shooter, is actually a criminal hiding from the police. He's in love with Nanon, the circus owner's daughter, but her father despises him. Alonzo has an unusual deformity on his left hand that would reveal his true identity. He kills the circus owner, but Nanon witnesses the crime without seeing his face. As Alonzo plots to steal Nanon away from Malabar, his accomplice Cojo warns him that Nanon will hate him once she discovers his true identity. Alonzo decides to have his arms amputated, but Nanon falls in love with Malabar while he's away. Upon his return, Alonzo plots to kill Malabar during his latest stunt.
