Synopsis

To teach his capricious daughter, Jacqueline, the dangers of faithlessness, novelist Léon de Séverac reads her his latest story: In maneuvering for the favors of Zareda, a captivating Parisian adventuress, Baron de Maupin sends his son, Ivan, to war and takes the poison he intended for the Marquis Ferroni. Zareda marries the marquis, but she causes him to duel with Ivan, her true love, when Ivan returns. Ferroni is vanquished but lives long enough to imprison Zareda and kill Ivan. Jacqueline is impressed by this story and accepts her faithful suitor, Henri.

Trivia

Director Rex Ingram (II) directorial debut was Black Orchids (1917) made for Universal but they thought it was too erotic and didn't support it's release. When he joined Metro, Rex remade the same story as Trifling Women (1922). The remake was also quite erotic but done in a more subtle manner.
