DK/FeatureDramaSilent films

When Mrs. Walken's husband dies, she seeks out the medium Dr Kinley, who is reportedly able to make contact with the dead. Kinley, however, turns out to be a vile fraud who unscrupulously cheats his gullible clients. When he takes a shine to Walken’s daughter, he dresses up as the ghost of the deceased husband and forbids Mrs Walker to let her daughter marry her intended. Luckily for everyone, the daughter’s boyfriend suspects Kinley of deception and exposes him in front of everyone.
