The Moth
The Age-old story of "The Moth and the Flame" told in twentieth century style by the screen's most capable exponents of emotional acting.
Spoiled young heiress Lucy Gillam knows only a life filled with parties and flirtations until she falls in love with a man who loves only her money. She marries him, and after their child is born, she is confronted with life's harsh realities after her husband demands more and more money with which to support his mistress.
