Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ruth Roland was one of the highest-paid actresses of the silent era, earning $7,500 weekly for serials like this. She did most of her own stunts.
The 'partially lost' status is typical for serials—studios destroyed prints after exhibition, and only fragments survive in archives.
