The Deuce of Spades

The Deuce of Spades is a 1922 American comedy film directed by Charles Ray and written by Alfred W. Alley, Richard Andres and Edward Withers.

The film stars Charles Ray, Peggy Prevost, Lincoln Plumer, Phil Dunham, Andrew Arbuckle, and Dick Sutherland.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Amos (Ray), a Boston youth who yearns to "go west and grow up with the country," sells his restaurant and with the proceeds goes to Little Butte, Montana, a town of tumbledown shacks and little business.

He converts the place into a clean up-to-date cafe and retains Sally (Prevost) the bright and efficient waitress.

He feels sorry for her and tries his hand at matchmaking by coaxing in succession the local bartender, saloon bouncer, and others to visit the cafe, but Sally will have nothing to do with them.
