Warning: Spoilers
As their parents are murdered by a ferocious Akim Tamiroff, twin boys are separated at birth and grow up separately only to reunite to extract revenge in this 1941 thriller.

As young adults, the boys, each played by Douglas Fairbanks, are able to feel each other's pain.

When reunited, not only do they seek revenge but of course they fall for the same woman.

The film becomes one of love, extracting revenge and the brothers becoming almost foes as they vie for the love of a woman.

Tamiroff steals the show here for his performance as the irascible tyrant, ready to kill all to gain his objectives.
