Dirección: Erich von Stroheim
Un supuesto dentista se casa con una mujer a la que le ha tocado la lotería. El frustrado novio de ésta le acusa de no tener licencia para ejercer como tal. A causa de ello, el matrimonio vive pobremente, pero la mujer ahorra compulsivamente. La avaricia y los celos conducirán a una tragedia. Existen dos versiones: la censurada, de dos horas y media, y la completa, de cuatro horas.
