Miloš Kopecký, a retailer, is the deceiver in the film, offering an outdated film "featuring Conrad Veidt" and is countered by Svatopluk Beneš, a wholesaler, with the latest film Metropolis. In the end, it turns out that a hot new thing can lose out simply through plain bad luck. The general narrative from the present ends with the revelation that Conrad Veidt is not really in the title film because his name was a mere business decoy.
