Watch Online / Thundergate (1923)
Desc: Thundergate: Directed by Joseph De Grasse. With Owen Moore, Virginia Brown Faire, Edwin B. Tilton, Sylvia Breamer. Robert Wells, an American youth who was reared in China, goes abroad for his uncle, James Sanderson, to assist in the construction of a bridge for the Chinese Government. Ray Williams, construction manager secretly employed by Chinese imperialists whose aim is to impede construction, introduces Wells to a narcotic that when taken causes him to neglect his work. Wells is in a dissolute stupor when the wayward son of the Lord of Thundergate meets him by chance and, noting the striking resemblance between them, exchanges identities with Wells, who as a result becomes involved in a daring conspiracy culminating in romance with a Chinese-reared white girl and in his own physical rehabilitation.
