The Colonel (Hungarian: Az Ezredes) is a 1918 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz. It featured Bela Lugosi in his last Hungarian film, just before he emigrated to Germany.

Plot

The Colonel (a professional thief) is caught burgling a millionaire's home. Rather than be arrested, the Colonel agrees to perform a service for the millionaire in exchange for his freedom. He is told that he must perform another robbery, this time stealing something from the millionaire's brother. Meanwhile, the Colonel falls in love with the rich man's daughter.
