Hell's Hinges (1916)

In the rugged and ruthless town of Hell's Hinges, Reverend Robert Henley and his sister Clara Williams, known as Faith, make their unexpected arrival. Silk Miller, the cunning proprietor of the town's saloon and gambling den, feels the threat of their virtuous presence to his empire of vice. In response, he incites the town's notorious outlaws against the newcomers, leading to their sacred service being disrupted. Enter Blaze Tracy, a hardened gunman with a reputation as fearsome as the town's name. When one of the unruly townsmen insults Faith, Blaze's protective instinct is ignited. He intervenes, driving the troublemakers from the church. Meanwhile, Silk employs a duplicitous scheme, luring Reverend Henley to his saloon where Dolly, a dance hall girl, entices him into a state of drunken oblivion. As Blaze leaves town on a mission to procure an organ for the church, Silk sees his opportunity to strike. Upon Blaze's return, he is greeted with a sight of devastation – the church reduced to smoldering ruins, Reverend Henley murdered, and Faith heartbroken. Consumed by fury, Blaze confronts Silk in a fiery showdown, his bullets ringing the death knell for the deceitful saloon owner. As high winds fan the flames of the burning saloon, Hell's Hinges is slowly consumed, the wildfire mirroring Blaze's burning desire for justice. With the town ablaze, Blaze and Faith escape, leaving the purging flames behind. He promises Faith a future beyond the mountains, away from the ashes of Hell's Hinges.
