About The Watertank Plot

Fearing lest Cameron's horse beat the pony he has plunged on, Tony Dorgan orders one of his men to bribe the stableman to drug the animal. Saratoga Johnny tries to carry out Tony's order, but receives a beating at the hands of the irate Cameron employee.

Directed by J. Gunnis Davis, The Watertank Plot leans on a strong ensemble — Helen Holmes, Robyn Adair, N.Z. Wood — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1915.
