About Hell's Hinges (1916)

Hell's Hinges is a 1916 American silent Western film starring William S. Hart and Clara Williams. Directed by Charles Swickard, William S. Hart and Clifford Smith, and produced by Thomas H. Ince, the screenplay was written by C. Gardner Sullivan.

Hell's Hinges tells the story of a weak-willed minister, Rev. Bob Henley, who comes to a wild and debauched frontier town with his sister, Faith. The owner of the saloon, Silk Miller, and his accomplices sense trouble and encourage the local rowdies to disrupt the attempts to evangelize the community. Hard-bitten gunman Blaze Tracy, the most dangerous man around, is, however, won over by the sincerity of Faith. He intervenes to expel the rowdies from the newly built church. Silk adopts a new approach.
