On the Jump(1918)

A story of speed and pep "Over Here"

On the Jump is a silent propaganda film starring George Walsh as reporter Jack Bartlett, who secures an interview with President Wilson about the Fourth Liberty Loan. When the newspaper's new owner, Otto Crumley, refuses to publish the story due to pro-German sympathies, Jack abandons journalism to campaign directly for the Liberty Loans. His efforts intensify when he uncovers Crumley's scheme to incite a strike at a munitions plant, forcing Jack to act decisively to protect the war effort. The film blends patriotic messaging with drama as its protagonist fights both editorial censorship and sabotage in service of America's financial mobilization.
