Lon Chaney is magnificent and the story is pretty cool, with the exception of a few dated elements.

Solid movie! My first silent movie, too. Lon Chaney is amazing.

Lon Chaney is, without exaggeration, the hardest working man ever to grace the film industry. His role in this film is no exception, as he plays a man whose legs are missing from the knees down, and he had to perform the entirety of the shoot with his legs bent behind him via a painful harness. While the story of the film is just average, the main attraction here is Chaney. He was really one of a kind.
