Jack, Sam and Pete is a 1919 incurred silent film - Western . Leading actor Percy Moran also directed the then popular childhood stories by S. Clarke-Hook as Jack Daring . In it, three cowboys , including Pete, a black hero, played by one of Britain's first black actors , Earnest Trimmingham , save a kidnapped child from a gang that is hoarding a treasure with jewels. In The Bioscope magazine , the film was described as a "touching implementation of a sensational story for young people", as a "Western drama with a British setting."

Moran had starred in a pre-war series as Jack Daring; the use of this pseudonym indicates an attempt to establish a new serial hero.
