Lon Chaney and John Bowers both love Leatrice Joy. They are members of a secret organization modeled on anarchist groups of the day that kills people it thinks the world would be better off without. Leatrice Joy is more interested in the (unspecified) Cause, but when John Bowers is picked to bomb the latest victim, she agrees to marry him. Lon Chaney agrees to help John Bowers and John Bowers flee the organization if Bowers survives the operation, but only if she will marry Chaney if Bowers gets killed. If you really care, you will have to see the movie for the Hollywood ending.
A rare chance to see Lon Chaney's face without much makeup.
