The sinister psychiatrist and master of disguise Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) uses his powers of mesmerism to win huge sums from unsuspecting gamblers -- money that funds his gang of murderous criminals. On his trail is a determined police inspector (Bernhard Goetzke) who recruits a dissolute countess (Gertrude Welcker) to try to infiltrate the gang.
Lang's epic-length film, released in two parts, took the crime melodrama to a new level. With its many characters and intricate, complicated storyline, the picture is a more unified version of the great crime serials such as Feuillade's Les Vampires, or Lang's own Spiders. The longer form gives Lang a chance to stretch out, particularly in exploring a connection between eroticism and decadence, in the passion of a dancer (Aud Egede Nissen) for the power of Mabuse, as well as the effete thrill-seeking of the Countess, who frequents gambling dens for entertainment and complains that no sensation is strong enough to stimulate her any more.
The popular character of the master criminal Mabuse was created by novelist Norbert Jacques, who worked closely with Lang and Thea von Harbou on the adaptation. Klein-Rogge dominates the film in the title role -- the intensity of his stare really is frightening. The acting is generally understated for its day, and the cinematography (Carl Hoffmann) is breathtaking. There was a kind of vogue for very long movies in 1920s Germany -- the four-hour running time for Dr. Mabuse (albeit originally in two parts) was not that unusual. This aspect makes it somewhat less accessible today, however. The picture starts off at a brilliant pace -- an early sequence in which the disguised Mabuse manipulates the stock market to enrich himself is a little masterpiece of crisp editing. But in Part Two, the film starts to drag. There aren't enough new ideas in the story to sustain the length, and Lang relies too much on extended scenes of talking, with wordy intertitles. Still, by the end of the film we've witnessed grand theft, hypnotism, murder, abduction, suicide, a rousing gunfight, and a descent into madness. The film was a huge success. Most of all, it succeeds in creating a mood of chilling and implacable corruption. The plot is outlandish, but the atmosphere of dread reflects social conditions that were very real.
