The Hellion is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by George L. Cox and starring Margarita Fischer and Emory Johnson.
[1][2] Joseph and Helen Harper, having depleted their niece Blanche's inheritance, become anxious that Blanche's suitor, wealthy George Graham, might reject her upon discovering her descent into madness due to grief over news of his supposed death in the war.
Upon George's return, learning of the distressing situation, he engages detectives to investigate further.
Despite Mazie's desire to flee from the control of cabaret owner Signor Enrico, known as "The Hellion," who manipulates her through hypnosis, she reluctantly agrees.
George, on the brink of Mazie's confession, reveals that his detectives have uncovered her true identity but professes his love for her regardless.
