The End of the World (1925)

Directed by Harvey G. Matherson

Overview

Jack Joyce, who worked in old Abner Hope’s garage, was always dreaming of big schemes, but had no capital with which to realize them. Abner Hope, who is regarded as a “queer one,” tell Jack that the world will end on September 1st, and gives him his savings to spend during the few remaining weeks. As a result Jack becomes a king of power, and becomes engaged to Curt Horndyke’s daughter, although he loves Mary Ellen, Abner’s granddaughter. Then comes the climax - the end of the world - which, with its dénouement, makes one of the most fascinating endings ever screened.
