Description

<p>Gilbert Standerton learns that he has been disinherited by his cantankerous uncle, and is forced to find a way to provide for his newly-wedded high-society wife. After quitting his appointment at the Foreign Office, he develops a new interest in the stock market, and takes an avid interest in the antics of a gang of safe-cracking burglars. His wife becomes concerned as he frequently begins staying out late at night, and shows an unusual interest in a particular musical melody despite having lost interest in all of his other music interests. What strange skills has Gilbert acquired, and will he find his fortune without resorting to crime?</p> <p><i>The Melody of Death</i> was published in 1915 and adapted for film in 1922.</p>
