The Confidence Man is a 1924 American silent romantic comedy film directed by Victor Heerman.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] Dan Corvan and Larry Maddox, backed by fake promoter Wade, visit Fairfield to sell worthless stock to the town miser, Godfred Queritt.

Corvan's suave personality impresses the townsfolk and pretty Margaret Leland.

An old lady inmate of the poorhouse sends for Corvan and entrusts him with money stolen by her son, which she wants turned over to its owner.

He beats up Wade, makes restitution to Querritt, and confesses all to Margaret, who then admits that she loves him.
