Outside the Gates is a 1915 American silent fantasy film directed by Joe De Grasse and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush.
One day, while the peddler Perez (Lon Chaney) comes to the convent to sell his wares, she sees Manuel, a handsome cavalier, riding by and she cannot suppress her attraction to him.
Ursula travels with Perez while disguised as a boy, and they come upon a group of thieves in the forest who attack and imprison Manuel when he rides near their camp.
Carmela, one of the dancers, attempts to win Manuel's favor, and when he ignores her advances, she attacks him with a knife.
"One of Joseph De Grasse's productions in which the writer evidently put a lot of thought, but some of the actions of the characters will be more apt to strike the spectator as humorous than serious.
