The Inner Chamber

Claire Robson, a girl without money, is annoyed by another, and a third man steps in to try to protect her and does so. The two instinctively love each other, but a woman who has designs upon the kindly-disposed individual tells Claire that the chap is married, so she misinterprets his actions and dismisses him. Then her mother is taken seriously ill and saved by an Italian doctor. He makes violent love to the daughter. Out of gratitude for what he has done for her mother, she consents to wed him. Upon their nuptial night he learns from a gossip what he believes to be true: a lie regarding his wife's former association with the good-natured chap. There is a scene and the husband shoots himself, but before dying he learns the truth. His death leaves the way clear for the two lovers to straighten out their mistake. - Moving Picture World, September 3, 1921.
