The Stranger is an American silent film directed by Sidney Olcott with Gene Gauntier and Robert Vignola in the leading roles, and produced by Kalem Company.

An elderly stranger (Robert G. Vignola) walks into the town of Rotherfield, and boards at the Rhode Inn.

The daughter of the innkeeper, Ann Rhode (Gene Gauntier) becomes attracted to him, though her father (Charles Ogle) cautions her, saying the stranger is too old and too poor for her.

Gossip starts to spread about Amos, and Cecil Lattimer (Charles West), who is betrothed to Ann, bets gambler Eddie Lockman (Alfred Paget) that he can figure out the stranger's identity.

He bids Ann to hide, and then, quickly giving a man (W. Chrystie Miller) twenty dollars for his horse, rides away from the posse, eventually being chased up the mountain.
