Grey falls in love with the mysterious man, then learns he is the man her beloved father persuaded Grey to kill...
The AFI Catalog of feature films will reveal the outcome, which involves spies and the U.S. Secret Service. Thanhouser's "Her Beloved Enemy" is a lost, and not likely to be seen again, film. Julian Johnson reviewed it favorably in "Photoplay" (May 1917). He thought, "Wayne Arey is delightful as the big lover, and Doris Grey equally appropriate as Sylvia." After revealing the entire plot, Mr. Johnson added, "An extremely clever scene is the man's burglarizing of a safe in an office building, and his outwitting, in neat fashion, of a night watchman and a policeman."
