The story of two young orphans: Gwynplaine, a young boy who has been facially disfigured with a scar which makes him look like he's constantly smiling, and Dea, a young blind girl. Many years later, when both are grown, the adoptive family travel together and put on a show where Gwynplaine has become a star. (Vendetta Films)
