Fighting Through is a 1919 silent American drama film, directed by Christy Cabanne. It stars E. K. Lincoln, Spottiswoode Aitken, and Millicent Fisher. It was released on January 27, 1919.
Plot
Robert Carr was raised by his grandfather, Dabney Carr, who had been a Colonel in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He is taught by his grandfather to distrust the U.S. government. Robert is engaged to Maryland Warren, who is also being pursued by Raymond Haynes. Raymond concocts a scenario which allows him to save Maryland from a runaway horse, while making it seem that Robert was too cowardly to come to her aid. Maryland accuses Robert of being a coward. Later, when the U. S. declares war on Germany, Robert is again falsely accused of cowardice and disloyalty towards the United States. Disgusted, Maryland breaks off their engagement. Despondent, Robert goes for a walk, where he is set upon by a group of hobos who rob him, beat him unconscious, and load him aboard a west-bound train.
Later, Robert is now in Arizona, tramping around with some hobo friends. Maryland arrives on vacation, accompanied by her mother and Raymond, who is still pursuing her. Maryland is kidnapped by a group of Yaqui Indians, and taken across the border to Mexico. In rescuing her, Robert proves both his bravery and his loyalty to the United States.
