200 minutes of 1924 chaos: a sister vanishes, a fiend schemes, and everyone's running around Long Island like it's a clue.
Madge Clayton, a society girl, mysteriously disappears. The police suspect a master criminal is behind the girl's abduction, but her brother, Bob, and fiancé, Bert Moore, help with the search. They unearth a scheme to kidnap another girl, Natalie Van Cleef, and the evidence takes Bob and Bert to an estate on Long Island.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
George B. Seitz directed over 100 films, mostly serials; this ten-chapter epic was standard weekly-cinema fare.
Movie serials like this trained audiences to crave episodic cliffhangers—basically the 1924 version of 'Next episode starts in 5 seconds.'
