The Orgy (1915)

John Pemberton has a ward, Nan Fuller, who is in love with Pemberton's secretary, Stanton. Pemberton is against the relationship, but Stanton defies him. While reading a book on hypnotism, Pemberton gets the idea of placing Nan under his influence and turning her against Stanton. With Nan under Pemberton's control, she denounces Stanton. Stanton writes to Nan telling her he believes she is under some influence, vowing to take her away and kill Pemberton if he interferes. Pemberton intercepts the note, and struggles with Stanton when he arrives. Stanton's chauffeur enters the home, ties up Nan, and shoots Pemberton. The scene now shifts to Nan coming up the steps of Pemberton's room. She sees him reading the book on hypnotism. He had imagined the whole scenario. Pemberton throws his arms around Nan, and when Stanton comes in, Pemberton brings them together.
