The Scarlet Car is a lost[1] 1923 American silent drama film directed by Stuart Paton and starring Herbert Rawlinson, Claire Adams, and Edward Cecil.

[2] It is based on a novel by Richard Harding Davis, which had previously been turned into a 1917 Lon Chaney film of the same title.

The film is a member of the Universal-produced and Carl Laemmle-selected "The Laemmle Nine", which also includes A Dangerous Game, The Flaming Hour, The Ghost Patrol, Kindled Courage, The Power of a Lie, The First Degree, The Love Letter, and The Gentleman From America.

Mitt Deagon (O'Brien), who loves Violet, also discovers her secret and attempts to expose Ernest, but is prevented by Billy, who is completely unaware of the facts.

When Violet reads this, she does what any woman betrayed in love would do, and in a climax of fast events clears up the triangle.
