When Men Desire
When Men Desire (1919) on 9 march 1919

Directed by J. Gordon Edwards
Origin USA
Genres Romance
Actors Theda Bara, G. Raymond Nye, Edward Elkas

As described in a film magazine review, after the United States declares war on Germany in 1917, American citizens within Germany like Marie Lohr (Bara), who was visiting her uncle Professor Lohr (Elkas) in Strassburg, hastily attempt to obtain passports and leave the county. However, Major von Rohn (Nye), a powerful officer in the German Army, desires her as a companion, noting that German officers in war time are permitted to have any woman that they fancy. Marie's American aviator sweetheart, Robert Stedman (Ward), has reached Switzerland, and Marie attempts to keep Von Rohn at a respectful distance. She escapes one hazardous situation when Stedman, during a mission, happens to drop a bomb on a house and apparently kills the German officer. Marie is then able to take, from a female German spy who was also in the house and crushed under the wreckage, passports and secret documents that instruct that the spy be taken through the French lines. Impersonating the spy, Marie is able to get to the German border, where she is detained by German soldiers who look to her to relieve their loneliness. Her companion from her journey is able to reach Robert, who then jumps into a airplane to rescue Marie. Marie holds off the soldiers and her identity is safe until von Rohn, recovered from his injuries, shows up at the woman's apartment where Marie is being held and where Robert is hidden in a closet. Marie stabs and kills Voh Rohn, and the two patriots escape after Robert dons the officer's uniform.
