Former male model Reed Howes, Mildred Harris (the ex-wife of Charles Chaplin), and ace screen villain Sheldon Lewis starred in this low-budget silent action melodrama about a war veteran battling a gang of crooks out to steal his invention, a "self-starter" device for military tanks. An also-ran leading man of the late silent era, Howes starred in a series of low-budget melodramas produced and often directed by Harry J. Brown. He was reduced to bit parts and "walk-ons" in talkies.
