Wiki.

The Scarlet Drop is a 1918 American silent Western film directed by John Ford and featuring Harry Carey. For several decades, just over 30 minutes of footage of the film was thought to have survived in the Getty Images Archive. In January 2024, academic film historian Jaime Córdova Ortega discovered a complete version in an abandoned warehouse in Providencia, Chile. It was later digitized, and screened at the Valparaiso Recovered Film Festival, organized by Córdova Ortega.
