The Flirt (1916)
Dealing with the caprice of a girl whose one desire in life seems to be the ensnaring of men's hearts.
Cora Madison, the town flirt, delights in making men love her and then dropping them, so when newcomer Valentine Corliss arrives, she views him as just another potential victim. Rather than falling for her charms, however, Valentine persuades Cora to use them in getting her past suitors to invest money in one of his phony business deals.
