As the night wears on, the couple learn that Werdegast left home 18 years earlier to fight in <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> and has not seen his wife since, as he spent the last 15 years in an infamous prison camp in <a href="/wiki/Siberia" title="Siberia">Siberia</a>. </p><p>In the dark and rain, Peter, Joan, Werdegast, and Thamal, Werdegast's servant, transfer to a small bus. When they are near Werdegast's destination, the remote home that Austrian architect Hjalmar Poelzig built upon the ruins of Fort Marmorus, the driver of the bus loses control and drives off the road. He is killed in the crash and Joan is injured, but Peter, Werdegast, and Thamal are well enough to take her to Poelzig's house. </p><p>After treating Joan's injury, Werdegast and Poelzig go to speak privately. Werdegast says he has come for revenge, as he knows Poelzig betrayed Fort Marmorus, which Poelzig commanded, to the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russians</a>, resulting in the deaths of thousands of <a href="/wiki/Austro-Hungarian" class="mw-redirect" title="Austro-Hungarian">Austro-Hungarian</a> soldiers and Werdegast's imprisonment, and stole his wife and daughter, both named Karen, after telling them he was dead. As Peter enters and attempts to intervene, Poelzig's black cat walks by and Werdegast, who suffers from severe <a href="/wiki/Ailurophobia" title="Ailurophobia">ailurophobia</a>, kills it with a thrown knife. Just then, Joan enters, behaving erratically because of an injection of the tranquilizing drug <a href="/wiki/Scopolamine" title="Scopolamine">hyoscine</a> that Werdegast had given her. </p><p>The guests go to their rooms, and Poelzig, carrying a black cat, surveys a "collection" of preserved dead women on display in glass cases in his basement. He brings Werdegast to see one of the women, who Werdegast recognizes as his wife, and says she died of pneumonia two years after the war, also revealing that the younger Karen is also dead. Heartbroken, Werdegast almost shoots Poelzig, but he is spooked by the cat, and Poelzig says they should wait to have their confrontation until after the Alisons leave. The men part, and Poelzig joins Werdegast's daughter Karen, who is alive and is his wife, in bed. Instructing her to not leave the room the next day, he opens a book titled <i>The Rites of Lucifer</i>. </p><p>In the morning, Joan awakens feeling well, and she and Peter hope to leave that day. Werdegast confronts Poelzig about how he is looking at Joan, and Poelzig mentions a ceremony scheduled for that night and admits he intends for her to stay. He and Werdegast play a game of chess to decide the fate of the Alisons, and, after losing, Werdegast has Thamal help place Peter in a cell in the basement and lock Joan in her room. Karen later stumbles upon Joan, who tells Karen that Werdegast is still alive, but the women are caught by Poelzig. He and Karen exit and Joan hears Karen scream. </p><p>That night, Poelzig's cult gathers at his house. Joan is brought in and, as Poelzig approaches her, a female acolyte sees something which causes her to scream and faint. Taking advantage of the distraction, Werdegast and Thamal grab Joan and carry her away. Thamal is shot by Poelzig's servant before dispatching him, and Werdegast urges Joan to forget about Peter and escape. She tells him that his daughter is alive and married to Poelzig, and he rushes off, finding Karen dead on a slab. Poelzig enters and the adversaries fight. A dying Thamal helps Werdegast, overpowers Poelzig and shackles him to his embalming rack, and Werdegast begins to skin Poelzig alive. </p><p>Peter escapes from his cell and looks for Joan. He finds Werdegast crouching next to her to help tear a key from Thamal's dead hand, but thinks Werdegast is attacking her, so he shoots the psychiatrist. Fatally wounded, Werdegast tells the couple to leave and ignites demolition charges left over from when the house was a military installation, destroying the building and eradicating Poelzig's cult. </p><p>Having just experienced an unbelievable adventure, on the trip home, Peter and Joan read a review of his latest novel, which complains that the plot is too far-fetched. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Black_Cat_(1934_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Boris_Karloff" title="Boris Karloff">Boris Karloff</a> (credited as Karloff) as Hjalmar Poelzig, an architect and former friend of Werdegast who is secretly keeping Karen and her daughter with in his house.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/B%C3%A9la_Lugosi" class="mw-redirect" title="Béla Lugosi">Béla Lugosi</a> as Dr. Vitus Werdegast, a doctor and WWI veteran who returns to find his wife and faces off against Poelzig.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/David_Manners" title="David Manners">David Manners</a> as Peter Alison, a writer and Joan's Husband</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Julie_Bishop_(actress)" title="Julie Bishop (actress)">Jacqueline Wells</a> (later known as Julie Bishop) as Joan Alison, Peter's wife who is captured by Poelzig.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lucille_Lund" title="Lucille Lund">Lucille Lund</a> as Karen Poelzig (<a href="/wiki/Maiden_and_married_names" title="Maiden and married names">née</a> Werdegast), Poelzig's wife and Werdegast's daughter (Lund also plays the corpse of Karen's mother, who was also named Karen)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Egon_Brecher" title="Egon Brecher">Egon Brecher</a> as The Majordomo, Poelzig's servant</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Harry_Cording" title="Harry Cording">Harry Cording</a> as Thamal, Werdegast's servant</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Henry_Armetta" title="Henry Armetta">Henry Armetta</a> as The Sergeant who investigates the bus crash</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Albert_Conti" title="Albert Conti">Albert Conti</a> as The Lieutenant who investigates the bus crash</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Davis_(actor)" title="George Davis (actor)">George Davis</a> as the bus driver for Hotel Hungaria—Gömbös (uncredited)</li> <li>Anna Duncan as Poelzig's maid (uncredited)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Carradine" title="John Carradine">John Carradine</a> as the cult member who plays the organ (uncredited)<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Black_Cat_(1934_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe" title="Edgar Allan Poe">Edgar Allan Poe</a> is given a "suggested by" credit, the film has little to do with his 1843 short story "<a href="/wiki/The_Black_Cat_(short_story)" title="The Black Cat (short story)">The Black Cat</a>".
