The Amazing Woman

The Amazing Woman is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by Lloyd B. Carleton and starring Ed Coxen and Ruth Clifford.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Anitra (Clifford), who has come to believe that Ralph (Coxen), the soldier she loves, will never return from abroad, yields to the plea of John (Robson), a man many years her senior, and goes to live with him in the city.

Like the Flame, she captivates a wealthy man-about-town and uses the money she obtains from him to found a hospital for the poor and a gambling house for the rich, using the proceeds from the latter to support the former.

After setting up an endowment to pay for the hospital, she works and manages to get her sweetheart elected mayor on a reform ticket, after which she closes her gambling house along with other evil institutions in the city.

Then she discovers that Ralph's father is John, the man who brought about her ruin, and her happiness seems wrecked.
