Here is the final part of the Fritz Lang silent classic. Once they get to the moon, Mannfeldt and Turner both make the discovery that Mannfeldt's theories are correct: there is gold on the moon! They struggle in a cave, and Mannfeldt falls to his death in a crevasse. Turner attempts to hijack the rocket, and in the ensuing struggle, he is shot and killed. Gunfire damages the oxygen tanks, and they come to the grim realization that there is not enough oxygen for all to make the return trip. One person must remain on the moon (which, in this film, has a breathable atmosphere.)
Helius and Windegger draw straws to see who must stay, and Windegger loses. But after the ship takes off for home, Helius discovers that Friede has decided to stay with him on the moon, and they embrace passionately.
Thus brings to a close this classic film made in the last days of the silents.
