The Midnight Sun is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki and starring Laura La Plante, Pat O'Malley, and Michael Vavitch.
As described in a film magazine,[3] American Olga Morova dances in the Russian ballet where she is known as 'The Midnight Sun'.
She has attracted the attentions of banker Ivan Kusmin, the Grand Duke Sergius, and young officer Alexei Orloff.
However, the young officer misinterprets her presence in the Grand Duke's chambers and slaps her, and as a result faces a court-martial where he is sentenced to death.
Frantic with grief, Olga goes through many sacrifices and adventures, including incidents where a gunboat chases a yacht and a wild automobile ride, to save Alexei from execution.
