Tod Browning's tale of San Francisco underworld crime and Lon Chaney's dual role as Black Mike Sylva, a murderous thug, and Ah Wing, a small-time Chinese pacifist. Co-starring Priscilla Dean as a tough moll, this hard-edged film is a pinnacle among the Browning-Chaney crime dramas. We recommend the film itself as a required excursion into the dark world of director Browning.
