The Turmoil is a 1924 American silent melodrama film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures and directed by Hobart Henley.

[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] James Sheridan, Sr. (Corrigan) has made himself the captain of many industries and the undisputed financial king of his city.

There comes a point when Mary Vertrees (Boardman), the daughter, finds it necessary to seek a marriage with Jim Sheridan, Jr., to save the family name from financial disgrace.

Bibbs has made a friend of Mary Vertrees, a point which Sybil, the troublemaker, carefully notes.

Sybil succeeds in breaking up Bibbs' tender romance and making out of him a silent recluse.
