synopsis
A criminal mastermind is bringing down government airplanes using a "death ray" machine in this silent action melodrama which starred Silverstreak, one of Rin Tin Tin's many canine imitators. Silverstreak played a police dog aiding in bringing the insane inventor of the death ray machine (William V. Mong) to justice. Kenneth Harlan and June Marlowe, the latter taking a day off from teaching the Our Gang kids or frolicking with Silverstreak's mentor, Rinty, provided the romantic interest. The story was written by Hollywood supporting actor Barry Barringer.
