The Wild Strain (1918)
The story of a regular American girl who rebelled against autocracy and gave vent to the reckless spirit inherited from her bandit ancestor.
Although the prominent Hollywood family prides itself on its illustrious family tree, young Winifred Hollywood exhibits a fondness for wild adventures that greatly disturbs her parents.
