The Dancing Cheat
The Dancing Cheat is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Herbert Rawlinson, Alice Lake, and Robert Walker. Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Brownlow Clay, member of an old Southern family, runs a square gambling house in Tijuana. In a cafe he meets Poppy, a dancer and the wife of a crooked gambler named Kane, who is willing to go the limit in order to achieve her aim. When Clay refuses to respond to her advances, Poppy, enraged, enters into a scheme with her husband to blackmail him. Kane finds her in Clay's apartments and demands hush money. Poppy, ashamed of the part she is playing in this badger game and genuinely in love with Clay, relents, suffers remorse, and double-crosses her husband instead  of Clay. With Kane out of the way, Clay and Poppy face a happy future together. Cast
