Flesh and the Devil

Leo von Sellenthin (John Gilbert) and Ulrich von Kletzingk (Lars Hanson) have been friends for many years and have estates near each other in Austria. Leo has been having an affair with Felicitas (Greta Garbo), the wife of Count von Rhaden (Marc MacDermott). The Count learns of this, and Leo kills him in a duel. Leo is forced to leave for America, and Ulrich marries Felicitas, unaware of her affair with Leo. A few years later, Leo returns when he learns he will not be punished because of the duel. Felicitas again lures him into an affair. When Ulrich finds out, she says that Leo tempted her. Ulrich and Leo have a duel. Felicitas, not wanting Leo killed, hastens across an ice-packed river to prevent it. She falls through the ice and drowns. Leo wounds Ulrich in the duel, but nurses him back to health and the two become friends again.
