[edit] Plot summary
The Cheat is about a woman, Edith Hardy (Fannie Ward), who steals charity money in order to invest it in stocks. When she loses the money, she turns to a wealthy Burmese man (Sessue Hayakawa) for a loan, and he brands her and declares her his property in return. Edith shoots him, and her husband, Richard (Jack Dean), is blamed for the crime.
