The Accomplice (1917 film)

The Accomplice is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by Ralph Dean and starring Dorothy Bernard, Jack Sherrill and Jean Stuart.

[1] Spoiled and lonely daughter of a wealthy Wall Street entrepreneur, Katherine Harcourt, wanders into the Tango Tea Set and meets the charismatic Antonio, a professional dancer.

Infatuated, Katherine follows Antonio to his hotel room but, at the last moment, rejects his advances and leaves at the point of a knife.

Although Miriam's gesture is an attempt to improve her image with Dick's father, who thinks that she is too poor for his son, it soon backfires and Dick breaks off their engagement.

Guilt-ridden, Katherine finally confesses to knowing Antonio, clearing both her own and Miriam's name.
