Argentine Love is a 1924 American silent romantic drama film directed by Allan Dwan and based on a short story by Vicente Blasco Ibanez that stars Bebe Daniels.
[1][2] In the film, the legal guardians of an Argentine woman arrange her marriage to a man of their choice, but are unaware that she already has a boyfriend.
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] during a two year absence in the United States, the guardians of Consuelo Garcia (Daniels) arrange her marriage to Juan Martin (Cortez), who lives in the same hometown in Argentina.
However, she is in love with the American Philip Sears (Rennie), who is coming to her country to build a bridge, so she turns Juan down.
Juan returns to the house and, saying that an Argentine is not to be outdone in gallantry by an American, gives himself up to the crowd and is shot by the murdered young man's father.
