Spellbound (1916)
Major Cavendish returns from India, bringing with him an idol he has picked up. His ward, Elsie Yorke, is in love with Harrington Graeme. The major asks her to marry him, and she laughs at the idea. Graeme, in ill favor with the major, asks Elsie to elope with him. She is to meet him in the grounds at midnight. As she passes through the library she is fascinated by the ugliness of the idol. Her guardian enters and startles her. Graeme, through a window, sees the girl in the major's arms, and goes away, thinking he has lost her. Later he returns from abroad, and having learned that Elsie is still unmarried, ventures to call. Elsie is receiving friends whom she has invited to hear a lecture on Indian morals by noted yogi Katti Hab. She is impressed by his statement that even inanimate objects have a strange power. Katti Hab sees the idol and gives a start of recognition. Graeme wins Elsie's forgiveness. The major enters and orders him from the house. He returns that night to walk under Elsie's window. Katti Hab and one of his servants enter the house to steal the idol, and kill the major. Graeme puts them to flight and is found on the scene with the knife in his hand. Held for trial, he is freed on the testimony of yogi's servant, who bears against his master a grudge. Graeme and Elsie are married. Elsie undergoes a change. Graeme discovers that she is gambling and pleads with her to stop. She flouts him. An admirer abets her and lends her money. Graeme, also changed, has an affair with an actress. Katti Hab, in hiding, resolves to risk all on another attempt to steal the idol. Elsie's physician informs her that she is with child. She rebels at the thought, and hates her child when it is born. Katti Hab, surprised in the house, conceals himself in a closet and is imprisoned by a spring lock. He calls on the god for deliverance, and the idol moves, upsetting a lamp which sets fire to the house. The valet telephones Graeme, who rushes homeward. Elsie, returning from a ball at which her admirer has revealed his true character, sees the fire, and her maternal instinct is aroused. She saves the child, but is herself overcome. Graeme rescues her. Katti Hab is killed by the fire. The image is broken, and Graeme finds jewels in its head. Both feel that a sinister influence in their lives has been removed, and they are happy with their child.
