The Goat

In The Goat, Chuck McCarthy, an ironworker, dreams of acting despite the concerns of his girlfriend and family. His big break comes when he chases after a runaway monkey belonging to actress Bijou Lamour, which leads him to become a stuntman. Although he initially enjoys the newfound attention, the studio's mockery takes a toll on him.

The plot thickens when Chuck is injured while performing a dangerous stunt meant for leading man Marmaduke X. Caruthers. Instead of receiving the recognition he deserves, Chuck is quietly whisked away while the studio capitalizes on Marmaduke’s injury. The film concludes with Chuck receiving a substantial check to remain silent about the incident, which he and Molly use for their honeymoon to Niagara Falls. As a lost film, The Goat holds a unique place in cinematic history, appealing to collectors who appreciate the rare and forgotten works of early cinema.
