Bella Donna

The woman who scored such a marvelous triumph as "ZAZA" far exceeds her previous performance in the presentation of this wily, serpentlike viper, who poisons the one man who has tried to lift her from the depths to which she has sunk.

Bella Donna ( Pauline Frederick ) a seductive woman snares Nigel Armine ( Thomas Holding ) into marriage and he takes her to Egypt to live. Tired of her simple husband, Bella becomes involved with brutish Baroudi. To get rid of Nigel, she begins slowly poisoning him. However, Nigel's friend Dr. Isaacson arrives in time to save him. Now Baroudi wants nothing to do with Bella, and neither does her husband. Totally alone now, the distraught Bella wanders off into the desert.
