The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

In a northern German town in the mid-19th century, the traveling showman Dr. Caligari performs with his clairvoyant medium Cesare. Students Allan and Francis wish to learn about the future, but the news that Allan will meet his end by dawn significantly dampens their spirits. When Allan is indeed found murdered the next day, Francis suspects Caligari. His investigations initially seem to confirm this suspicion, but then Francis makes an even more terrifying discovery.
