Hotel des Etudients (Student's Hotel) was the great Tourjansky's sole directorial contribution of 1932. The scene is a Parisian rooming house, catering to students of both sexes.

But the boy finally realizes the harm he's caused, and in the last few minutes of the film finally does the "right thing."
