- David Webster escapes from prison after 15 years, having been framed by Fletcher Burton, a prominent businessman. He hides out with Li Fang, a Chinese politician and former friend of Webster's. In order to move about the city undetected, he disguises himself as a cripple, dragging himself about on a pair of crutches. At a local mission, he meets his daughter, a young girl known as "The Angel Lady" because of her many kindly deeds and good works. She befriends the cripple, unaware of his identity, and the two play songs together, he on violin and the girl on piano. Detective Doyle is determined to capture Webster and, learning that Li Fang knows his whereabouts, gives the Chinaman the third degree until he reveals his identity. Webster breaks in on Burton and forces him into signing a confession stating that he framed Webster; however, his victory is a hollow one, as he learns that his daughter plans to marry Ted Burton, the son of the elder Burton. Realizing that the imprisonment of Burton would ruin the son and destroy his daughter's happiness, Webster destroys Burton's confession and returns to prison. Stars Lon Chaney
WOW - Lon Chaney is unquestionably the hero of this film! Just one year before The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and three years after his real "first" breakthrough in The Miracle Man. Lon plays both a pristine version of himself and a fake cripple, but I won't give away why. Very solid job from most all the actors.
A clear print and appropriate music . Thank you !
A great performance by Chaney!!
Thank you.
Great 🎥,I have my tablet on 0 volume😉
GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!
chaney was one of the best actors.. but 2 parts of plot were rather implausible..... first one was doyle arresting li fang only on suspicion[ie-no proof] of harboring a criminal.. second was chaney giving himself up for a crime he never committed.. after 15 years of prison,i can't imagine him wanting even more.
Oh, hush...
Do you happen to have "The Violin Maker"? I'd appreciate that!
Great film, terrible music.
