Red Hot Dollars is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Jerome Storm and written by Julien Josephson.
[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Tod Burke (Ray), a laborer in Peter Garton's (Conklin) steel mill, is severely injured while saving the life of his employer.
As soon as he has regained his health, he rushes to the home of his sweetheart Janet Muir (George) to tell her of his good luck.
He is ejected from the home by Angus Muir (Mailes), Janet's grandfather, who is a bitter enemy of Garton.
Tod takes Janet into his office as a stenographer, but warns that she must not disclose her identity or tell her grandfather the truth of her employment.
