What happens

Cobra is a 1925 American silent romantic drama film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Rudolph Valentino. Produced by Famous Players–Lasky/Ritz-Carlton Pictures and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film is based on the 1924 stage play Cobra by Martin Brown. Valentino portrays Count Rodrigo Torriani, an Italian aristocrat whose passion and impulsiveness entangle him in a scandalous love affair that ultimately leads to personal ruin. Released at the height of Valentino's fame, Cobra is noted for its sophisticated European setting and for showcasing the actor in one of his final romantic roles before his death in 1926.
