Summary

The "Vampire" is a cunning woman who uses her irresistible charms to seduce and abandon a series of influential men. When one lover commits suicide on the deck of a luxury liner, she merely turns her gaze to another passenger, John Schulyler, and leads him down a path to moral degradation and public scorn. Schuyler's wife never gives up hope for her husband's redemption but has severly underestimated the hypnotic power the Vampire has upon her victims.
