The Shock may not be one of Lon Chaney's best but is certainly memorable. Lon Chaney plays Wilse Dilling, a cripple with a mysterious past. He is sent to a small town by Queen Ann, a crime boss. Sent there for reasons not revealed to him. He is simply told to make friends and he will be contacted at a later date. While in this town he meets Gertrude, a beautiful lady that shows him kindness and compassion. She also teaches him it doesn't matter "what you were, BUT what you are that counts". The kindness Gertrude has shown him make him want to be a NEW and better man until he finds out that Queen Ann has a score to settle with Gertrude's father. Wilse must now choose between the woman he loves, and the woman he fears. It's truly is a wonderful movie. I highly recommend seeing it.
