The Unknown plot

"Don't miss this startling spectacle!"

Alonzo (Chaney) is the armless knife thrower at the circus and falls in love with the beautiful Nanon (Crawford). Nanon is afraid of people with poor, so she loves Alonzo too. Secretly, Alonzo actually has arms (which he always hides in his coat), so he decides to have them amputated so he can actually live with Nanon.
