The Ne'er-Do-Well

Directed by Alfred E. Green
1923    80m
Disgusted with his spendthrift son, Kirk Anthony's father has Kirk shanghaied and taken to Panama, where he (Kirk) attracts the attention of Mrs. Edith Cortlandt; falls in love with Chiquita, the daughter of a Panamanian general; gets a railroad job through Stephen Cortlandt (Edith's husband); and decides to make something of himself when he meets Allen Allan, a Negro soldier of fortune. Stephen Cortlandt's death is blamed on Kirk until Edith produces a suicide note; he succeeds in his railroad position and returns to the United States with Chiquita to ask his father's forgiveness.
