The Lone Wolf is a 1924 American silent mystery film written and directed by Stanner E. V. Taylor based on a story by Louis Joseph Vance.

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Michael Lanyard, an international crook, refuses to join a band of Paris criminals in their attempt to steal valuable secret plans from the United States Government.

He falls in love with Lucy Shannon, the trusted agent of the outlaws.

Lanyard gets the plans back, but Eckstrom recovers them and flees in an airplane.

Lanyard swings from a rope, boards his enemy's airplane, and then overpowers Eckstrom in a mid-air fight and secures the documents.
