"Volume Six turns the spotlight on adultery, alcoholism, prostitution, and racism, issues that the Production Code would soon ban from the screen. Starring the pre-Code era's biggest stars, including John Gilbert, Richard Barthelmess, Myrna Loy, Kay Francis, and Ann Dvorak,...[they] are a provocative reflection of American mores in a not-so-innocent time. The Wet Parade:... Demon whiskey brings ruin to two families in this all-star adaptation of Upton Sinclair's impassioned novel. Downstairs:... A philandering chauffer (Gilbert) creates havoc in an upper-class household. Mandalay:... A Russian refugee (Francis) seeks revenge upon the ex-lover (Ricardo Cortez) who sold her into slavery. Massacre:... A college-educated Sioux (Barthelmess) wreaks vengeance upon the white officials who abused his family and cheated his people"--Container.
