Lawful Larceny (1923)

A modern Cleopatra steals happiness and honor from the home and laughs at the law. But a clever wife hits back in amazing fashion, and has the last laugh.

During his wife's absence, Andrew Dorsey is snared by Vivian Hepburn, owner of a crooked gambling house, and her silent partner, Guy Tarlow. Dorsey loses so much money that Vivian persuades him to give her one of his firm's checks for a large sum of money. Hearing her husband's confession, Marion Dorsey, returned from Europe, determines to retrieve the check.
