几个年轻人——Sally (玛丽莲·伯恩斯 Marilyn Burns 饰) 、Franklin
(保罗A. 普泰 Paul A. Partain 饰)、Jerry (阿伦·丹齐格 Allen Danziger 饰)、Kirk (威廉·韦尔 William Vail)和Pam (泰瑞·麦克明 Teri McMinn 饰),驾驶房车驶入荒漠中的德州特拉维斯镇。途中,一个满身伤痕、丧魂落魄的搭车人(埃德温·尼尔 Edwin Neal 饰)。勾起了他们的好奇心,他们在他的带领下进入一幢阴森大屋试图弄清真相。大屋被一股神秘、恐怖的氛围所笼罩,仿佛有一双眼睛始终在窥视着他们的一举一动。正当这群年轻人惊恐万分、不知所措时,电锯声骤然而起,他们最后的噩梦随之降临……
在柏林的一家大饭店里。那时整个德国笼罩着经济危机的阴影。在豪华的大饭店里麇集许多来自不同阶层的人物。其中有陷入困境而避风头的财界巨擘普莱辛格,无奈色衰而想自尽的芭蕾舞演员格鲁辛斯卡娅,被赌博弄得倾家荡产而偷窃为生的旧男爵冯盖根,普莱辛格的旧属风烛残年的孤老克林格兰,以及年轻漂亮但贪婪自私的速记员弗兰苓等。
这部第5届奥斯卡最佳影片是米高梅在30年代初期首创“全明星电影”的代表作。全片以柏林的一家豪华大饭店为人生舞台,表现五组人物在同一天之中的离奇遭遇。叙事手法虽然中规中矩,但几位大明星的表演却相当精彩,充分掌握角色的个性和处境,其中有:面临事业危机的俄国芭蕾舞女星、嗜赌的男爵、患上绝症的小人物、企业家等。这些角色以三线交错的方式上演着人生的悲欢离合,剧情发展流畅,场景虽然局限在大饭店中,但人物穿梭流动自然。故事在后来的《柏林饭店》(Hotel Berlin)和《琼楼风月》(Weekend at the Waldorf)中再度出现,并被改编成百老汇歌舞剧。

与Stefan Uher和Elo Havatta一样,Eduard Grecner也是60年代斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的缔造者之一。他的三部影片《一周七天》(1964)《尼绒月亮》(1965)和这部《徳拉克的回归》都是斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的代表作。这部叙事方法独特带有明显意识流风格的黑白影片甚至间接影响到了后来法国导演格里耶在捷克拍摄的两部影片《说谎的人》和《Eden and After》。
A special place in the development of feature films is reserved for Eduard Grecner, the creator of just one good film, Dragon Returns (Drak sa vracia, 1967), titled after the nickname of the lead character. After his initial work with Uher, Grecner made his mark as a proponent of the so-called "intellectual" film, the antithesis of the sociologically, or rather, socially critical film. Grecner's great role model was Alan Resnais, a young French filmmaker who sought to introduce Slovakia to the idea of film as a labyrinth in which meanings are created not by stories, but by complex configurations of dialogue, shots, and various layers of time, thus differentiating film from both literature and theater. In Dragon Returns―the story of a solitary hero who is needed by villagers living far in the mountains, but who is rejected by them at the same time because of his detachment―Grecner brought the tradition of lyricized prose to life through a whole series of formal aesthetic techniques. Alain Robbe-Grillet immediately developed this idea in the film shot in Bratislava The Man Who Lies (Slovak: Muz, ktory luze French title: L'homme qui ment 1968), and perfected it in Eden and After (Eden a potom, 1970).
