The Mysterious Stranger is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Jack Nelson and starring Richard Talmadge, Josef Swickard, and Carmelita Geraghty.

[1] As described in a film magazine review,[2] Raoul Lesage, a great artist, lives happily in his large home with his four-year-old son Paul and his wife April until he is deceived by Herman Bennett, who attempts to caress April.

Bennet, who is also an artist, has spent the last twenty years forging the works of the master Lesage.

He is picked up by a band of merrymakers and is taken to a roadhouse where he meets Helen Dresden, the ward of Bennett.

Bennett buys the house where April has long been the housekeeper, waiting for her husband and son to return to her.
