Lulu’s first husband dies after finding her with the Painter, who later kills himself when he learns how she was exploited and married off. She marries Dr. Schön, whom she kills when he tries to force her to commit suicide. After escaping prison with help from Geschwitz, Lulu and Alwa flee to Paris, where a stock-market crash leaves them destitute in London. Lulu’s clients kill her, Alwa, and Geschwitz.
Soldier Wozzeck is mocked by his Captain, subjected to a Doctor’s experiments, and troubled by visions as he struggles with poverty. His partner Marie accepts earrings from the Drum Major and begins an affair with him. Wozzeck suspects Marie’s infidelity, sees her dancing with the Drum Major, and is beaten by him. After confronting Marie, Wozzeck takes her to a pond and cuts her throat. He throws the knife into the water and drowns while trying to retrieve or conceal it. The next morning, children learn that Marie is dead; her son follows them to see her body.
