In this ambitious exploration of the curse of the Hope

depiction of the theft of the "sacred" jewel and a 20th
Century chase to obtain it. Grace Darmond is the heroine in
both adventures, George Chesebro the hero, and Harry Carter
the heavy. Boris Karloff, in an early major role as the
serial's villain, plays an ancient priest as well as a
latter-day counterpart.
All 15 chapters of this serial exist complete in silent
form.
The Serial Squadron Collectors' DVD will be released in
three volumes
Volume 1: Chapters 1-5

response.
