The Frontier of the Stars

In The Frontier of the Stars, East Side gangster Buck Leslie finds himself entangled in a conflict when he intervenes in a fight between chemist Gregory and a tough. As he takes refuge on a tenement roof, he meets Hilda Shea, a crippled woman who offers him shelter. Their relationship blossoms as Hilda's innocence inspires Buck to reconsider his life choices.

The film delves into the complexities of Buck's character as he faces pressures from his gang, who attempt to frame him. As tensions escalate, a fire engulfs the tenement, leading to a dramatic climax where Buck must rescue Hilda. The film concludes with a transformative moment for both characters, as Hilda miraculously regains the use of her limbs, leaving them in a state of newfound happiness.

Being a lost film, The Frontier of the Stars holds a unique place in cinema history. Collectors may be particularly interested in its rarity and the cultural significance of early 1920s crime dramas, especially those produced by Famous Players-Lasky Corporation.
