Description
Summary:	Moran of the Lady Letty is based on the novel by Frank Norris. Moran casts Valentino as Ramon Laredo, a pampered aristocrat who is shanghaied in contemporary San Francisco by Captain Kitchell (Walter Long), the brutal commander of a smuggling schooner bound for Mexico. The Moran of the title is a beautiful young woman (top-billed Dorothy Dalton) who is as good a sailor as any man; the Lady Letty is her ship, which is taken over by Kitchell and his men. Ramon, naturally, has fallen for Moran (her name is even an anagram of his), and defends her honor in a brawling showdown with the lustful captain.
