The Wolf of the City (1913)
Mark Haggarty, a police reporter, is known as "the wolf of the city" by reason of his pen. At the police station he manages to photograph Stanley Vandon, a fashionable society man, who has been speeding in his auto with an adventuress, Mme. Verdane. The city editor of the paper sees a big scoop in Haggarty's article. The reporter takes the photograph to Vandon 's apartment and shows it to the wife, who, while admitting that they are alienated, believes that she can win back her husband, and begs the reporter not to publish the photo. As she is talking with him the sleeve of her garment blows back, disclosing bruises that have been made by her husband. This determines the good-natured reporter not to print the photo, and as he is leaving the apartment to go to the drawing room to call up the city editor, the wife falls into the arms of her maid, fainting from excitement. After conversing with the city editor and refusing to write up the affair, Haggarty meets Vandon, who has returned home. He offers Haggarty a large sum of money to keep the affair from the eyes of the public. Haggarty refuses by throwing the money in the face of Vandon, who flies into a rage and attempts to strike the reporter with his cane. But Haggarty manages to get hold of the stick and breaks it. Exhausted from the "physical exercise," Vandon sinks into a chair, and Haggarty shows him evidence of his perfidy and urges him into the bedroom, where his wife lies in a semi-conscious state. Slowly her senses return to her and she sees her husband kneeling beside the bed. She forgives him. The two men leave the room and Vandon makes pathetic appeals to Haggarty to destroy the evidence of his faithlessness. For the wife's sake he does, and later he meets a reporter who has been ordered to go after him. In the office he destroys the negative and refuses to write the article, for which he is fired.
