Hands Up! is a 1926 comedy film directed by Clarence Badger and starring Raymond Griffith.Griffith plays Jack, a Confederate soldier during The American Civil War who is sent west on an espionage mission. The Union government is deep in debt due to the war effort, but they are anticipating a badly needed deposit of gold from a rich strike in the Nevada mountains. Jack's mission is to gain the confidence of miner Silas Woodcock (Mack Swain, The Gold Rush), while doing whatever he can to keep the gold out of Union hands. Complicating Jack's efforts in Nevada are the Union officer sent to take possession of the gold, as well as Woodcock's two pretty daughters, Alice and Mae, both of whom fall in love with him.Raymond Griffith was a big star in The Roaring '20s, but he and his films are almost completely forgotten today. Hands Up! has a place in the National Film Registry. Keep Circulating the Tapes, as this film has never been released in an authorized video format. | |

Gone Horribly Right: Jack sets off an explosion in order to wreck Woodcock's mine. An enormous blast shatters the whole operation—and opens up an even bigger, richer gold vein. | |

Marry Them All | |
| Hands Up! / int_20779065 | comment |
Marry Them All: At the end, each sister realizes the other is also in love with Jack and offers to step aside. Jack is puzzling about how to resolve the Love Triangle when a stagecoach arrives. A bearded man exits the stagecoach and introduces the sisters to his wife, who exits the stagecoach behind him. Then a second wife emerges, then a third. Five wives come out of the coach before the man is revealed to be Brigham Young. The film ends with Griffith leaving with both sisters in the stagecoach, which has a sign on the back reading "To Salt Lake City". | |

Anachronism Stew: The Indians have captured Jack's party and seem to be about to kill them all. They go into a war dance, when Jack frowns, shakes his head, and proceeds to teach them the Charleston. | |

Pocket Protector: The Indian chief grabs Jack by the neck and twice tries to slice his stomach open. The blade is deflected by the somewhat oversized pair of dice that Jack is carring in his coat. | |

Sharp-Dressed Man: During his whole time in the West—fleeing from Indians, blowing up gold mines, running away from a posse, stealing stagecoaches—Jack is dressed in white tie and tails, with a top hat, a cape, and a walking stick to boot. This was Griffith's Iconic Outfit. | |

Betty and Veronica | |
| Hands Up! / int_94e4c8ab | comment |
Betty and Veronica: Averted. Although blonde Mae and brunette Alice look like a Betty and Veronica dilemma, the gag is that they are almost exactly the same—they flirt with Jack in the same way, they react the same way when he asks each one separately to marry him, and they each pretend to be his wife to save him from hanging. This sets up the final joke (see Marry Them All below). | |

All for Nothing: After an epic chase through town, Jack gets the drop on Silas and Capt. Logan, tells Alice and Mae to get the stagecoach carrying the gold, and seemingly has won—when everyone starts cheering. Lee has surrendered and the war is over. | |

Injun Country: While on the way to the gold mine, the coach carrying Silas, Jack, Silas's daughters, and Union Capt. Logan is waylaid by Indians. Jack the charmer charms his way out of this jam by teaching the Indians how to dance the Charleston and playing craps with the Indian chief. | |
