Caesar is declared dictator of Rome for the next 10 years, and a lavish public triumph is help to mark the occasion. Vorenus learns the election for magistrate has been rigged in his favour, while Pullo plans to free Eirene from slavery and marry her. Servilia finds a new ally in her plots against Caesar, and tries to persuade Brutus to join her in bringing his rule to an end.

This melodrama about an actress in love with a playwright and the stage manager blackmailing her for her affections offers a unique glimpse into Chaney’s career before his classic performances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera. Preserved and restored by the Academy Film Archive in 2004.
