Men (1918)

Poverty forces Mrs. Burton to allow the wealthy Mr. Fairbanks, whose wife has become deranged since her baby's death, to adopt Alice, one of her two little girls, while the other, Laura, stays with her mother. Kept in ignorance of each other's existence, the girls grow to womanhood and unknowingly become involved with the same man: vain, wealthy Roger Hamilton. Roger becomes intimate with Laura by promising to marry her, but Alice's wealth soon becomes irresistible to him, and when she quarrels with her fiancé, Tom Courtney, Roger presses his suit with ardor. On the day that Roger is to marry Alice, Laura tells her mother of her own affair with him; Mrs. Burton rushes to the church and publicly denounces the villain. Alice returns to Tom, while Laura is married to artist Anthony Gerard, who loved her all along.
