The Mystery of the Rocks of Kador
About The Mystery of the Rocks of Kador
In a Breton family, Suzanne de Lormel inherits from the Marquis de Kéranic unless she dies, goes into a convent, or is left unable to manage her own life. Her guardian, Count Fernand de Kéranic, whom she has refused, wants the money. At the rocks of Kador he poisons her and shoots her lover, a captain he has lured there in her name. The two live, but she can no longer speak or act. Professor Williams films the attack and shows her the picture. Léonce Perret plays Fernand and directed. Suzanne Grandais plays Suzanne.
