The Final Fraud (1916) Online
Dick Denton, a young man of uncertain identity, wins the love of Marie Weston. Notwithstanding that Denton refuses to give an account of himself, her father, a millionaire, finally consents to their marriage. Weston is entrapped by Le Strange, the chief of a coterie of international blackmailers. Led to the crooks' den, he finds Denton, apparently a crook also. Weston tells his daughter and forbids the marriage. She is heartbroken. However, when Dick and the blackmailers are arrested finally in a spectacular raid, Marie goes to him at the prison. She tells Dick she will marry him if he will promise to reform. It is then that the chief of the federal secret service enters and congratulates Dick. For instead of being a crook, Denton is in reality a secret service agent who had disguised himself in order to round up the blackmailers.
