Dollar Down

Dollar Down is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Tod Browning.

[7] As described in a film magazine reviews,[8] Alec Craig has a fine position as general manager of a manufacturing firm, but his wife and daughter almost ruin him with their extravagance.

They buy everything on the part payment plan, and their daughter Ruth pawns a ring that is not paid for to raise money with which to give an elaborate party.

A man tricks her into disclosing the fact that her father’s company has an option on a valuable piece of land.

Ruth takes the blame, prevents the man from exercising the option, and a niece of Alec’s redeems the pawned ring.
