The Rack is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Emile Chautard and starring Alice Brady, Milton Sills and June Elvidge.
[1] Habitual unfaithful husband, Jack Freeman begins flirting with the Effie McKenzie, and so breaks up her marriage.
Blanche Gordon, a friend of Jack's wife Louise, then comes to see Jack several times in order to plead with him to give up extramarital affairs and accept the responsibilities that go with being a husband.
Blanche's husband Tom, however, misunderstands these meetings and insists on a separation.
At the trial, though, Blanche tries to take the blame for the murder, thereby making Tom realize that she really does love him.
