The Whispering Chorus is a 1918 American silent psychological drama film directed by Cecil B.

[2][3] John Tremble (Hatton), an impoverished cashier in a contracting concern, listens to the voice of evil and succumbs to temptation, stealing $1000 from his employer.

When he begins to fear detection, he runs away and hides on an isolated island where he becomes a piece of human driftwood.

While fishing he finds the body of a dead man and, again listening to the voice of evil, he exchanges clothes and then mutilates the head of the corpse, to suggest he himself has been murdered.

He nobly meets death in the electric chair rather than bring unhappiness to his former wife.
