The Kingdom Within is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Victor Schertzinger and starring Russell Simpson, Z.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Caleb Deming (Simpson) always wanted a boy but his son was born paralyzed in his right arm.

As a result, Caleb hated the boy, but Amos (Glass) grew up with a keen spiritual insight which he exerted over Emily Preston (Starke), a young woman who lived next door and who was taunted by the villagers because her brother had been in prison.

Krieg (Torrence), nursing a grudge against Dodd (Russell), owner of the lumber camp, plans to use Will as a tool to obtain revenge.

Emily discovers who the real murderer is and Krieg, who has been in hiding, returns a few nights later to kill the young woman who told on him.
