Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Beyond London's Lights was filmed entirely at the Culver City, California facilities of FBO studios. Rescued from a masher by handsome Gordon Elliot, dressmaker's model Adrienne Dore has no idea that her savior is a man of wealth and position. Upon finding this out, Dore also learns that Elliot is engaged to snobbish heiress Florence Wix. A few twists of fate brings Elliot, Dore and Wix together under curious circumstances. What begins as a simple romantic-triangle story veers into melodrama in the final reels when hero and heroine are menaced by a gang of toughs. Leading man Gordon Elliot later enjoyed a lengthy career in westerns as "Wild Bill" Elliot.
