The Lady Killer (1915)
DePeyster is a wealthy scoundrel, and finds his chief pleasure in illicit love affairs. He has broken up a number of homes, among that of Russell, a fellow club member. Leslie and some friends discuss the devastating career of DePeyster, and Leslie wagers $5,000 that he will drive DePeyster out of the city within a month. At one of the local theaters, John Strong, a woman impersonator, is appearing in his act, and Leslie, who is a close personal friend of the actor, holds a conference with him. He arranges that Strong shall appear as his bride, and DePeyster is invited into the Leslie home to meet the pretended bride. Strong has been thoroughly posted and plays his part well. He inveigles DePeyster into incriminating situations, so that they are discovered by Leslie, his friends and a crowd of newspaper men. The exposure drives the homebreaker away.
