El águila negra (1925)
Cuando Vladimir Dubrovsky rehúsa convertirse en amante de la zarina Catalina II, ésta, herida en su orgullo, lo acusa de ser un criminal y ordena que lo capturen vivo o muerto. Las propiedades de la familia Dubrovsky son inmediatamente confiscadas y entregadas a Kyrilla Troekouroff, un hombre cruel que provoca la muerte del padre de Vladimir. Cuando éste se entera, jura vengarse y, para ello, se oculta tras un antifaz negro y actúa con el apodo de Águila Negra. Para ejecutar su venganza, se disfraza de preceptor y entra en la casa de Troekouroff como profesor de francés de Mascha, la hija de su enemigo. Pero sus planes se tambalean cuando empieza a enamorarse de la joven.
