Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford (1921)

"The tale of a town with more dollars than sense, and a bright young man who was gunning for boobs."

Two confidence men pose as investors to fleece the denizens of a small town. They build a carpet-tack factory with the funds, but some stockholders are suspicious. Eventually, someone tries to take over the business by buying it from them. The film is presumed lost.
