The Wrong Man (1917 Film)
''The Wrong Man'' is a 1917 American silent Western film, featuring Harry Carey. Like many American films of the time, ''The Wrong Man'' was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors cut six holdup scenes from the film. Plot summary In the heat of June 1891, two men make their way across the barren desert toward the edge-of-nowhere town of Guadaloop. One of them, Jack, is a young prospector chasing fortune in the sands. The other, Ben Bostwick, is a down-and-out figure known around town as a bit of a failure. At the heart of Guadaloop stands "The Silver Top" Saloon—part watering hole, part town hall—run by Larry Malone, who holds sway over just about everything that happens there. Larry’s friend, Chip Stevens, is always nearby, never far from the action. When the stagecoach arrives, its driver steps into the saloon and, between drinks, casually mentions he's hauling a sum of money—but more importantly, he brags that a heft ...

A 44-Calibre Mystery
''A 44-Calibre Mystery'' is a 1917 American short Western film, featuring Harry Carey. Carey plays the role of Sheriff Cheyenne Harry. He saves Kitty Flanders from Pete McGuire and takes her safely home. McGuire hides in a shack on Mr. Flanders' stake and Harry's deputy is shot dead, apparently by Mr. Flanders. McGuire offers to keep quiet about the murder if Flanders gives him half a stake and his daughter's hand in marriage. Mr. Flanders confesses his crime to Sheriff Harry and learns that he is innocent.
