The film is bogged down with one-off rain monster threats that always come to a quick and undramatic end
The Silver Lining (1921)
At a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Vance Leighton, three men are discussing the effects of heredity in shaping the careers of children. To prove his contention that the theory of heredity is often demonstrated to be false, John Strong, a secret service agent, tells a true story: Two orphan sisters are adopted, one by society leaders, the other by a couple of crooks. The latter, known as "The Angel," becomes an expert pickpocket, while the other, Evelyn, becomes a reigning belle.

Folks, indie film will always be a bastion of experimentation and originality, and this film for me fits that bill.
