Count Greven (Bruno de Carli) returns to his old castle after spending several years touring the world. The servants note how the count has changed: he is now withdrawn and fearful. He orders that the doors to the castle be kept locked and no one admitted. When he is left alone in his room, Greven opens a chest he brought from his travels, inside it there is a strange statue that he adds to his vast collection of rare works of art. Several days pass and a worried servant (Bernhard Goetzke) informs the town's minister (Hermann Picha) about his master's melancholia. The old man visits the castle looking to help. The count confesses the minister how, during his stay in India, he had heard of a statue of Buddha that was so beautiful that it made the sick well and the sad joyous; while visiting the temple, he stole the figure and smuggled it back home. The count tells the minister that the temple's priest swore a terrible revenge upon him for his sacrilege, and he has been living in fear of their secret powers ever since. The minister leaves shocked, believing that Greven has gone mad. The count screams in despair that he no longer wants to live, since the agony of suspense is worse than death.

Un anarchiste emprisonné pour une tentative d'assassinat se voit raconter le récit de la Passion par l'aumônier de la prison, qui cherche à le convaincre qu'il vaut mieux se sacrifier que de prendre la vie de son ennemi. Ce cadre, tiré du roman, aurait eu pour fonction de donner un sens anti-bolchévique au récit biblique et aurait été ajouté à l'insu des acteurs principaux.
