Synopsis

A miner has two daughters, the fair Edith and the dark Dina. Edith falls in love with a navy officer, while Dina runs away with the capitalist Stoll. When the rumour spreads that a comet is about to hit the earth, Stoll uses the situation to his advantage at the stock market and earns a lot of money. On the evening before the comet is due to hit the earth, Stoll gathers his friend for a party but furious workers attack his house. Both he and Dina die. After the comet, only two people have survived: Edith and her navy officer.
