The Silent Mystery is a 1918 American drama film serial directed by Francis Ford.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Phil Kelly (Ford) devotes himself to solving the mystery surrounding the Graham family.

Mrs. Graham (Van Name) has stolen a famous oriental jewel from a mummy in Egypt called the Eye of the World.

On her return to the United States, she is followed by Priestess Kah (Theby) and her associates, who are determined to recover the jewel.

From this point on, anyone who touches or is connected in any way with the jewel comes under the shadow of the silent mystery and suffers accordingly.
