HELL'S HINGES - 1916 - SILENT - WILLIAM S. HART - RARE DVD

To the tough western town named Hell's Hinges come the Rev. Robert Henley and his sister, Clara Williams. Silk Miller, the crafty saloon and gambling-house keeper, stirs up sentiment against the better element. Some rough men and women interrupt the service. Blaze Tracy, a notorious gun man, drives the bunch out of the church when one of the men insults Faith. Silk decoys Henley to his saloon, where Dolly, one of the dance hall girls, induces him to drink until he is intoxicated. Blaze journeys to a nearby town to fetch an organ for the church. On his return he finds the church burned down, Henley killed, and Faith brokenhearted over the disaster that has come to the good element. In fury Blaze shoots the treacherous Silk, sets the saloon on fire, and sees the flames wipe out the town as the result of a high wind. He takes Faith away with him, saying that their future lies beyond the mountains.
