On 14 April, Titanic strikes an iceberg, throwing the diners in the Café Parisien to the side.

As Titanic sinks, the captain saves a drowning man and takes him to a lifeboat but he refuses a spot and declares he will follow his ship, swims away and the waves close over the swimming captain, as his cap floats in the water.

The film was produced by Continental-Kunstfilm of Berlin, and directed by the Romanian Mime Misu.

While most of its footage was shot in a glasshouse studio in the rear courtyard of the offices at 123 Chausseestrasse, some footage was shot in Hamburg, and some was possibly done aboard the German ocean liner Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, then docked at Hamburg.
