Thrilling Youth is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Grover Jones and starring Billy West, Gloria Grey, and Charles Clary.[1][2]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] when Billy Davis leaves college and arrives home after a wild going-away party, he finds that his dad is in financial trouble. Billy goes to work to make their bakery business a success. He is in love with Mary Bryson, whose father is a big competitor in the bread business. Bryson's secretary bribes the Davis foreman to put cement in the bread. Billy, warned by Mary after she discovers a cement truck, informs his customers of the dirty trick by an airplane sky-written message. Bryson denounces his secretary for this underhand plotting and the latter is severely beaten by Billy, whose romance with Mary is happily concluded.
