The Love Pirate (1915)

Viola Marsh early discovers that her power of fascination for men is to be the motive force of her life. As stenographer to a railroad magnate, she does not hesitate to ruin her employer, who deserts his wife for her, and afterwards, having lost his social position, commits forgery to cater to her extravagant tastes. When he realizes that Viola is growing tired of him, he warns her that if she attempts to leave him he will kill her. She elopes with her next prey, and the man she has stripped of honor and money swears to hunt her down. Several years later he is employed as valet to a young clubman. He discovers that his master is supporting in luxury some woman, and that his neglect of his wife is breaking her heart. At last, at a house-party in the siren's honor, to which he accompanies the clubman, the valet comes face to face with his master's inamorata. She is Viola. That night, in a room remote from the festivities, her first victim carries out his revenge.
