The Scoffer is a surviving 1920 American silent drama film produced and directed by Allan Dwan and starring Mary Thurman.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Dr. Stannard Wayne (Kirkwood), a worker for humanity, Dr. Arthur Richards (McCullough), a charlatan, and Carson the Parson (Durning), a missionary worker, are firm friends until a victim of Richards' malpractice dies and Wayne is sentenced to five years imprisonment for the crime.

Released from prison, he finds his way to a northern settlement where Richards and his wife, now a physical wreck, are living.

Alice Porn (Mitchell), keeper of the general store, challenges him to prove that man is superior to God by curing a crippled child.

The elements and his enemies combine to thwart the purpose of the operation, and facing defeat he prays for aid.
