The Fangs of the Tattler (1916)
Wentworth is the wealthy backer of The Tattler, a blackmailing society weekly, and Runkle his lawyer and tool. The plight of one of their victims brings them to the attention of Mona and Mary. After carefully laying their plan they change their abode to a fashionable hotel where Mona is the wealthy Mrs. Stephen Douglas, and Mary her paid companion. Dick Carlton, an actor, pays ardent attention to Mrs. Douglas. A quarrel between Mary and Dick is arranged so that Wentworth overhears them and later becomes interested in her. She says that Dick has cast her aside for Mrs. Douglas, and hints that revenge by informing the absent Mr. Douglas would be sweet. Wentworth urges her on for his own selfish ends, and falls into the trap of giving direct evidence that he is the owner of The Tattler, which is all the girls wanted to bring about his exposure in a dramatic scene, and his disappearance from the city followed by the suspension of The Tattler.
