    Death blow

    A boxer, played by silent star Lloyd Hughes, fights an opponent who unbeknownst to him has a weak heart. The man dies and Lloyd later finds himself falling in love with the man's sister, Marion Shilling, who is at first completely unaware that Lloyd unwittingly killed her brother. Upon discovering this she is appalled and wants nothing to do with him. I won't spoil the ending but let's just say that eventually Marion will find that her fate is in the hands of Lloyd and his skills as a boxer. OK, we're not talking Raging Bull here but as early movies go this remains quite watchable and Marion Shilling is always a treat for the eyes.
