The Old Sin (1915)
Richard Bannon, a rising young lawyer, marries Cherish Stanton, a chorus girl, refusing to hear anything about her past. Five years later he is made district attorney and among the guests at a party he gives is Dan McAleer, traction magnate and man about town. Cherish recognizes in McAleer the man of her past. Later Bannon unearths a plot to put through a gigantic traction merger through bribery and warns McAleer, who threatens to bring up a scandal that will ruin Bannon. He tells Bannon to make Cherish tell him a story. She confesses and Bannon threatens to kill McAleer if he dares make public the scandal. The telephone rings and Bannon hears Cherish fire a shot. Bannon then shoots McAleer, only to learn later that a maid had saved Cherish. He is about to give himself up when McAleer appears. The bullet had lodged in his watch. McAleer confesses a change of heart, begs Cherish's forgiveness, and assures Bannon he will make only a legal defense on the merger deal while Bannon clasps Cherish to his heart.
