Using the address on a letter he found on the dead mans body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.　　As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his sons fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walters grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.　　Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancés bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walters parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walters violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.　　The films original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story. It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.本片由好看电影网整理提供。
