What happens

In the Last Stride is a 1916 Australian silent film directed by Martyn Keith based on the 1914 popular action novel by Arthur Wright. The film's star, Dave Smith, was a champion heavyweight boxer who had fought Les Darcy. There was also an appearance from boxer Les O'Donnell. Wright later described it as "a film of action, depicting the racecourse, opium-running on the Harbor, a football match, and a glove fight in which Dave Smith and Les O'Donnell participated." It is considered a lost film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
