The Shakedown

Tomato-can pug Dave Roberts (James Murray) was resigned to his role amongst a gang of grifters traveling from town to town and putting on fixed matches. However, his latest stop brought him into the lives of a willful waitress (Barbara Kent) and an orphaned kid (Jack Hanlon) he took on as a promotional prop-and their belief in him might mean he's taken his last dive. William Wyler's long-thought-lost silent sports story co-stars Wheeler Oakman, George Kotsonaros. 62 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary. Silent with music score.
