THE CONQUERING POWER.

Charles Grandet (Rudolph Valentino) is taken under the care of his uncle, Monsieur Grandet. Charles falls in love with Grandet's daughter Eugenie (Alice Terry) but Grandet condemns their love, and sends Charles away. Grandet is the wealthiest man in his province and schemes to cheat his nephew out of his inheritance from his father. Later it is revealed he is not really Grandet’s daughter; if she knew, she could reclaim all of the gold that originally belonged to her mother, leaving her father penniless.
