A Sad Fascination (1911)

A young, woman of superior attainments has fallen under the spell of a low criminal of the flash burglar type, who brutally ill-treats her. She breaks the spell at last, and obtains a situation as a governess with the charge of one little girl. Her former paramour tracks her down, and well knowing the influence his eyes have over her, he plans a burglary at which the woman shall assist. He and his partner visit the house at night, and the woman sees his dreadful, eyes glaring hideously through the window. She is impelled by a horrid fascination to open the door to the burglars, but the little girl arrives on the scene in time to cause a diversion, which ends in the capture of the intruders.
