Comment/Synopsis

A woman (Natalie Moorhead) wins a big financial settlement against an older married man (Montague Love) bringing disgrace to his family. When his wife (Clara Kimball Young) threatens to leave him, their son (Jack Mulhall) sets out to prove that she is actually a gold-digging blackmailer. The woman leaves the country on a boat and the son follows pretending to be a rich playboy in an attempt to get her to blackmail him and so expose her. The plot is nothing special, but the highlight of the film is Natalie Moorhead. She moves between a charming, elegant, beauty to a scheming manipulator. Several of the scenes are well shot to show off her beauty in some revealing dresses and having her pale face against a black background. It was re-released as Murder On The High Seas.
