The Americano

The Americano

After catching a glimpse of Juana de Castalar, the imprisoned daughter of the Paragonian president, Blaze Derringer accepts the position as manager of the American Mining Company in Paragonia. Power-hungry Salza Espada, the usurping war minister who has imprisoned Juana's father in a seaside jail, also captures Derringer. Derringer escapes, rescues President Castalar, helps to foil the coup attempt, reinstates Castalar, and announces his engagement to Juana.
This extant film was the 10th feature Fairbanks made during 1916. A seven-minute clip of The Americano was included in episode 11 of the television series Fractured Flickers, which aired October 10, 1963.
