On Probation is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Charles Hutchison and starring Edith Thornton, Robert Ellis, and Joseph Kilgour.[1]
As described in a 1924 film magazine review:
Mary Forrest (Thorton), rich, young, and impulsive, is warned not to appear before Judge Winter (Kilgour) again on speeding charges. Her friends accompany her to a roadhouse which the police are watching. They are tipped off and flee before the police raid the place, but Mary wrecks her automobile. Removing the plates and identification marks, she escapes the law until a jealous friend plants a purse in the wrecked car. When asked to secure someone to sign her probation bond, she finds her “friends” have deserted her and Bruce Winter (Ellis) comes to her rescue.[2]
