Running time
Smilin' at Trouble is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by Harry Garson and starring Maurice 'Lefty' Flynn, Helen Lynch and Kathleen Myers.[1] Location shooting took place around San Pedro and at a dam construction site, likely the Pit 3 Dam in Northern California.
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Michael Arnold, a wealthy contractor who hopes to crash into high society with the aid of Lafaette Van Renselaer, a worthless and dishonest aristocratic youth he carried on a dam construction job, engages a young civil engineer Jerry Foster to help him over several structural difficulties in the work. The engineer falls in love with his employer’s daughter Alice, and she returns his affection until she believes him to be in love with another woman. The dishonest youth’s success in having used inferior cement in the dam results in a flood in which he is drowned. The engineer saves his employer’s daughter from death and he and she are wed.
