is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse and starring Lon Chaney, Dorothy Phillips, and William Stowell.
The Chicago Board of Censors refused to issue a permit for this film because it portrayed a story of murder, abduction, and immorality.
He deserts his own wife and child and elopes with Hilda Hendricks (Selbie), a weak girl of the town.
As they are leaving, they hear a baby's cry and find Curtis' little daughter in the arms of her dead mother.
Marta (Phillips), his partner's child, has grown to womanhood and a lumberjack named Mac Jepson has fallen in love with her.
He is chagrined at finding Marta dressed in a sleazy costume, running the roulette wheel in Killer's bar.
His patrons will be satisfied.....The climax reached is well conceived and put over with a punch.....Dorothy Phillips, who is featured, doesn't get much opportunity to impress her audience that she is really the star.
