Synopsis

An egotistical woman with the ability to charm, Leila Aradella gets pleasure from preying upon weak men. Her first victim is John Morton, a brilliant lawyer, whom she ruins both morally and financially. Her second victim, Rex Walden, the big-hearted son of society matron Mrs. Walden, becomes her complete slave. Mrs. Walden sends her elder son Franklin to try to dissuade Leila from toying with Rex's affections. Franklin, however, also falls under Leila's spell, and Rex is driven to suicide by her callous behavior. Desperate, Mrs. Walden enlists Adele Harley, a girl of strong moral character, to fight Leila for Franklin's affections. Adele's determined victory causes Leila to lose her confidence, and in a drunken state, she cuts her own face with a shard from her shattered mirror. Permanently disfigured, Leila ends a broken and lonely woman.
