Reckless Youth is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Ralph Ince and starring Elaine Hammerstein, Niles Welch, and Myrtle Stedman.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Alice Schuyler (Hammerstein), a selfish flapper expelled from a convent school, goes to live with her crusty old aunt near New York City.

Soon they begin to drift apart, she becoming infatuated with Harrison Thomby, a man about town, and a break finally comes when they meet at a cabaret.

She accepts an invitation from her friend and, while accompanying him to a dance, their taxi is wrecked and she is badly hurt.

While unconscious, she dreams of being trapped on Harrison's yacht, and wakes to find herself in her husband's arms.
