What happens

Pŏngŏri Samnyong (Korean: 벙어리 삼룡) is a 1929 Korean film written, directed, produced by and starring Na Woon-gyu (1902–1937). It premiered at the Choseon Theater in January 1929. It was the fifth film produced by Na Woon-gyu Productions, and its failure with the public was blamed for the bankruptcy of that company. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
