Freaks (1932)
Tra gli artisti di un circo che ha tra le sue attrazioni esseri bizzarri e deformi, nascono relazioni amorose. Il nano Hans è innamorato della bella Cleopatra, una donna "normale" e avvenente, che lavora nel medesimo circo come trapezista. In realtà, la trapezista è interessata solo al denaro di Hans e progetta con il suo amante, il forzuto del circo, Ercole, di ucciderlo per godersene l'eredità.
