Man Under Cover is a 1922 American crime film directed by Tod Browning and starring Herbert Rawlinson and George Hernandez.

The circumstances of the event impress Paul so deeply that he decides to leave his life of crime and to go straight.

Paul and Dad then discover that two confidence men are operating in the town and collecting thousands of dollars in a fake oil well scheme.

With the aid of Colonel Culpepper (Marks), a lawyer, they start a fake well themselves and reproduce a typical gusher blowout.

Louis Victor Eytinge wrote the screenplay for the film while serving a life sentence for murder in an Arizona prison.
