The Silver King

Wilfred Denver (Marmont) wins the heart of the beautiful Nellie (Jean Jay) and marries her, earning the ongoing festering resentment of his former beau Geoffrey Ware. Geoffrey sees an opportunity for revenge by giving his former friend a surefire tip on a horse running at generous odds in that year's Epsom Derby. As Geoffrey makes his way home later that evening, he is robbed and murdered by a band of crooks.
