The Stranger is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Betty Compson and Richard Dix.

[1] As described in a review of the film in a film magazine,[2] just as Keith Darrant (Stone), a high-class Englishman, has a chance for political honors, his ne'er-do-well brother Larry (Dix) appears on the scene.

Larry makes the acquaintance of Peggy Bowlin (Compson), a girl who is down and out, and a strong friendship begins.

The stranger is convicted and, as he is ready to pay the supreme penalty on the scaffold, Larry convinces Keith he must throw all considerations to the winds and save the old man.

He collapses and dies, so the truth remains forever hidden and the happiness of the girl who has been kind to him is assured.
