While Paris Sleeps is a grim expose of the European white slave trade. To
save his daughter Manon (Helen Mack) from falling into the hands of a
vicious gang of pimps, convict Jacques Costard (Victor McLaglen)
escapes from jail. Jacques' problems are twofold: he must keep Manon
from being abducted into a life of prostitution, and he must also hide his
true identity from the girl, who has been raised to believe that Jacques
died a hero in WWI. The film's gruesome "money scene" finds the white
slavers disposing of a stool pigeon by incinerating him in a huge bakery
oven! Can this be the handiwork of the same Allan Dwan who later
directed Shirley Temple's Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm?
