Alexandra

Countess Alexandra, ill and married to a brutal husband, leaves at night with loyal servants and goes to a mountain resort. Edgar Buchanan, rich and tired of hangers-on in London, sails on his yacht and in a port town falls under the hypnotic hold of the fakir Hamul Afid, who takes large sums from him. When Hamul dies the spell breaks. Hamul's foster daughter returns part of the money. Edgar puts her in a boarding school. Back in London he tells his flatterers what he thinks of them, then goes to the same mountain hotel planning a suicide that will look like an accident. He meets Alexandra, who talks him out of it. Her health fails. On a spring day she dies, after Edgar promises to marry Sonja, now a young woman.
