Carmen is a beautiful woman working in a business that is dedicated to smuggling. One day, Carmen fights and hurts to a smuggler woman, so a sergeant in the National Guard, José Navarro, stops detain her. In doing so he also falls in love with her, but jealousy will destroy his passion.
This second Carmen is an example of excellent motion picture photography, buti ts scenario... is loose and vague, and Miss Bara seems very mechanically seductive when compared, as she must be, with Geraldine Farrar.

It just misses being a masterpiece.

Of the acting of Theda Bara this only can be said. She has invested the character with a potency that makes one forget the film part of the business. This Carmen is not the opera Carmen; it is the living realisation of Merimee's original heroine.

Not a single detail which contributes to realism has been neglected. Thrill follows thrill in endless procession.
