Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Misguided heroine Louise Harding (Juliette Compton) marries into wealth for convenience's sake. While going about her obligatory charitable work, Louise becomes interested in a variety of her male co-workers. The formerly demure bride suddenly turns into a sexy seductress, completely destroying the life of one of her paramours. On the verge of triumphing over a second victim, Louise is murdered by the cast-off fiancee of her previous lover. Plenty hot stuff, A Woman Tempted was based on a novel by Countess Vera Cathcart. Director Maurice Elvey co-produced the film with John Maxwell.
