The Black Balloon is a silent-film trilogy of whimsical, macabre love stories accompanied by the solo piano works of French composer Erik Satie.

Part One: Stirred to action by the appearance of a child's party balloon, a Stranded Sailor builds a hot air balloon and escapes a deserted island. Part Two: At the dark and unkept city morgue, the corpse of a beautiful Dead Woman revives and pines for lost love. Part Three: A man who wants to be a Vampire meets his match when a young woman who wants to be a Vampire Hunter sets a clever trap for him.
