Braga's Double (1915)

Dominica Menduna, the beautiful and unusual heroine of a series of startling adventures, has her own code of morals, elastic as to the property rights of others, rigid as to her own personal conduct. Emilio Braga, a saturnine-faced Argentino, is a criminal by instinct, training and desire. He sends Dominica, who is his companion and assistant, to the cafés to find a double for him that he may establish an alibi while he wreaks vengeance on his official and personal enemy, Legrand. Legrand is as unscrupulous as Braga, from whom he has been extorting money for former crimes. Braga plans to kill him but fails. Dominica finds the double in the person of Taylor, a mining man from El Paso, Texas, and the complications that arise give them both much to do, and Taylor an opportunity to show just what he can do in a rough and tumble fight in the café, where he is assaulted by ruffians, who mistake him for Braga. Dominica conceives a feeling for him that is just a little warmer than respect and Braga's jealousy is aroused. Dominica scorns Braga and leaves him in rage and disgust.
