A Thief in Paradise is a 1925 silent film, written by Frances Marion and directed by George Fitzmaurice. Adapted from Leonard Merrick's novel, The Worldlings.
Maurice Blake and Philip Jardine are pearl fishers on a tropical island. The two men are fighting underwater for a pearl, when Jardine is killed by a shark. His mistress, Rosa Carmino, a woman of attractive appearance, has a letter from Jardine 's wealthy father, urging him to return to San Francisco. Since the elder Jardine has never seen his grown son, Carmino convinces Blake to go in his place. Blake is welcomed into the Jardine household and he falls in love with Helen Saville, the daughter of a neighbor. The couple marries, but on their wedding night, the jealous Carmino tells Helen that she is Blake's mistress.
