This serial was silent, had ten episodes and is believed to still exist, although it might be incomplete (missing a few episodes).[1] The plot revolved around a mysterious masked villain known as the Wolf Devil trying to drive non-native settlers out of Alaska.

Cast

The Wolf Devil

The villain of the serial is one of film's first werewolves (in the traditional sense of a man masquerading and acting like a wolf rather than the now more common film wolfman). This villain, The Wolf Devil, wears a wolf skin headdress that completely covers his face. The supernatural atmosphere is enhanced by his apparent ability to control a pack of wolves.[2]
