About This Movie
The Fable of the City Grafter and the Unprotected Rubes is a 1915 comedy film from The Essanay Film Manufacturing Company. This silent film features a story about a group of con men looking to swindle a small town through a fake auction.
This film is quite rare, with only a handful of surviving prints, which makes it an interesting find for serious collectors. The lack of a known director adds to the mystery surrounding its production, and it often gets overlooked in discussions of early comedy. Its scarcity and unique take on early 20th-century humor spark considerable interest among those looking to understand the evolution of film comedy.
