Susan's Gentleman

After marrying Terrance Flynn ( Bradley Barker ) a groom on her father's estate, Nancy Croyden ( Violet Mersereau ) born of British aristocracy, is now wilting away in the slums of New York. Nancy dies there leaving a daughter, Susan Flynn ( Violet Mersereau ) who grows up in the Bowery. She travels to England in search of her family and she befriends Sir Bevis Neville ( William O'Neill ) an English peer in disguise. Neville becomes falsely accused of murder and Susan pretends to be the ghost of her mother to scare the real murderer Ora Tourette ( Maud Cooling ) into a confessing the crime. Susan's impersonation of her mother, causes her grandfather , Sir Jeffrey Croyden ( James O'Neill ) to recognize her as his granddaughter. Happily Susan wins Neville's freedom along with her own birthright.

This 1917 drama starring Violet Mersereau and produced by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, now sadly remains a lost silent film.
