    Allan Dwan Allan Dwan Director Douglas Fairbanks Douglas Fairbanks as Lo Dorman (Sleeping Water) Jewel Carmen Jewel Carmen as Nellie Alma Rubens Alma Rubens as Teresa Elmo Lincoln Elmo Lincoln as The Doctor
    In an attempt to brand himself as a serious actor, the smiling swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks starred in THE HALF-BREED (1916), a Western melodrama written by Anita Loos and directed with flair by Allan Dwan. Fairbanks stars as Lo Dorman, who has been ostracized from society because of this mixed ethnicity - his Native American mother was abandoned by his white father. When Lo catches the eye of the rich white debutante Nellie (Jewel Carmen), he becomes a target for the racist Sheriff Dunn (Sam De Grasse), who wants to break them up and take Nelli for his own. This love triangle becomes a quadrangle with the arrival of Teresa (Alma Rubens), who is on the run from the law. Through fire and fury Lo must decide who and what he truly loves.
