On the Private Wire (1915)
Ralph Mills, a reporter, goes to the country home of John Lyons, a wealthy speculator, to get a story. Here he encounters "English" Eddie, whom he knows to be a crook, posing as Lyons' guest. Lyons has arranged to call his broker on his private wire at midnight, and impart a message which would be of value to a rival speculator. Mills suspects Eddie of being there for the purpose of overhearing that message. Eddie recognizes the reporter, and attempts to gain his end by holding Mills and Lyons at the point of a gun, but he is surprised by Theda, Lyons' daughter, who turns the tables and make him prisoner.
