Shadows of Paris (1924)

At the end of the war, Claire, queen of the Paris underground, finds herself in Paris high society. Believing that her apache lover, Fernand, has been killed in the war, Claire falls in love with Raoul, a French official. De Croy, Raoul's secretary, learns of Claire's past and threatens to expose her unless she yields to him. Fernand returns; Claire realizes that she no longer loves him; and while attempting to steal a diamond necklace, he is killed in a fight with De Croy, who has come to Claire's boudoir to collect his debt. Raoul returns during the fracas, and De Croy keeps Claire's secret by declaring that he has killed a common thief stealing madame's jewels. Claire, however, confesses the truth and is about to leave when Raoul forgives her.
