Hands Up!

The story takes place during the American Civil War. Jack is spying for the South. His task is to seize a shipment of gold. The gold is in the other side’s hands. Jack sets out. Things do not go as he planned. Two sisters cross his path. He loses his head over both of them. There are other obstacles on the way. He runs into a group of Native Americans. Then he is lined up in front of a firing squad. Each time he gets out of it at the last moment. The film is a silent comedy. The joke is made at the expense of the war itself. Raymond Griffith, Marian Nixon and Mack Swain appear in the seventy minute film, an American production Clarence G. Badger finished in 1926.
