The Challenge (1922)

Barbara Hastings, a hostess in an Adirondacks resort, settles the rivalry between artist Stanley Roberts and banker Ralph Westley by choosing Roberts to be her husband. Westley's jealousy will not let him accept the situation, however, and he throws temptation into Roberts' path by anonymously buying the artist's work. Roberts becomes extravagant, and his attention wanders to an attractive widow, but Barbara remains faithful, even when Westley offers her her old job. Finally realizing the futility of his efforts, Westley helps to reunite Roberts with his wife.
