The Grasp of Greed is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Ida May Park, and starring Lon Chaney and Louise Lovely.

Alice bursts into tears, and Meeson's nephew Eustace, who arrives during the meeting, scolds his uncle for the way he treats his authors.

Alice saves Lady Holmhurst's son, Dicky, from drowning while Meeson tries to buy a seat for himself in one of the lifeboats.

Alice has a sailor named Jimmie (Lon Chaney) tattoo Meeson's entire will on her back before he dies.

Alice goes to court to display Meeson's final will tattooed on her back and Eustace receives his rightful inheritance.

Louise Lovely appears as the heroine and it is on her back that the important will is inscribed...Lon Chaney in a comedy role is excellent, while the supporting cast is capable to a satisfactory degree."
