The Redeeming Sin is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by J. Stuart Blackton and starring Alla Nazimova.

[1][2] The story was remade in 1929 by Warner Bros. (the later purchaser of Vitagraph) as The Redeeming Sin starring Dolores Costello.

As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Joan (Nazimova), member of a band of Apache thieves, resents the attention of Lupin (Tellegen), their leader.

She leaves and goes to the café of Papa ChuChu (Harlan), where a bunch of aristocrats see her dancing.

For days she broods, and Lupin, who loves her blindly, takes back the pearls, but he is wounded by one of his followers.
