Her Second Chance is a 1926 American silent romantic drama film directed by Lambert Hillyer and starring Anna Q. Nilsson. It was produced by First National Pictures and distributed through Vitagraph Company of America.[1][2]
As described in a film magazine review,[3] young Kentucky woman Caroline Logan has been sentenced to two years in jail for shooting a sheriff who was attempting to evict her from her home. On her release, she vows to get revenge on Judge Clay Jeffries, who had imposed the sentence. The enemies of Jeffries agree to fight her case and win, and the sale of her property makes her a rich woman. She invests in racehorses and her attorney advisor Beachey, who had assisted in her plan to seek vengeance on the judge, has their own plan to blackball the judge in a scandal that would prevent his reelection. However, Caroline suddenly finds herself in love with Jeffries and, after some suspense in which Caroline must reach the racetrack before the start of a horse race that may ruin the judge, the fraudulent scheme fails. Caroline and Jeffries start life anew together.
With no prints of Her Second Chance located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.[5]
