Spangles is a 1926 American silent drama film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures.
It was directed by Frank O'Connor and starred Marian Nixon, Pat O'Malley, and Hobart Bosworth.
[1][2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] Robert 'Big Bill' Bowman, owner of the circus, is engaged to 'Spangles' Delancy, the pretty bareback rider, but she loves Dick Hale, a young fugitive she has shielded from the police as she believes him innocent of the murder he is accused of committing.
Dick is fired and, when threatened with exposure by Bowman, he turns himself in at the nearest police station.
Dick returns to the circus lot but is threatened with lynching by a mob who think that he is responsible for the killing of Bowman, who was mysteriously murdered the previous night.
