剧情简介: "Soon after his engagement to Margaret Kingon, Chas. Burnham is called to Honolulu on account of the illness of his mother. While he is away, Margaret and some friends visit a medium, Antonio Guiseppi, who, with his power, persuades her to return the next day. Doing so, she falls completely under his influence and is told, among other things, that Burnham is false. He then persuades her to discharge her maid, Marie, and take one he provides for her, his accomplice, Celeste. But she acts so strangely, that her father becomes worried and cables Burnham to return as soon as he possibly can.So Burnham boards the next available vessel, wires of his speedy return and proceeds to wait impatiently for the ship to cross the ocean.His message, though, is never delivered, for Celeste intercepts it, carries it to Guiseppi and receives his orders to bring Margaret to him.Burnham goes to see Mr. Kingdon immediately upon his return, and while he is there, Kingdon receives a telephone message from Marie telling him that something is wrong, that she has seen Margaret and her new maid go into a strange house down in town, and thought it best to inform Kingdon.A taxicab is ordered immediately, and the two men go to where Marie has promised to meet them. They rush up the stairs and arrive in the medium's parlors just in time to stop the [farcical] wedding of Guiseppi and Margaret. In his rage, Burnham nearly chokes the hypnotist to death, and compels him to release Margaret from the spell he has cast over her.When, a few days later, Margaret has fully recovered from her terrible experience, she renews her engagement to Burnham."Moving Picture World Oct-Dec 1911 pp. 654 & 656
