Blinky (1923)
A picture that rushes over sandy deserts, rocky mountains, a thundering cavalry troop, alternating with scenes of comedy.
Blinky, the bespectacled son of Col. "Raw Meat" Islip, is scorned by his fellow cavalrymen stationed on the Mexican border because his previous military experience was as a Boy Scout.
