An underworld kingpin named "Blizzard," whose legs were needlessly amputated as a youth, plans to plunder San Francisco. He also plans to take revenge on the doctor who cut off his legs. In the climax, Blizzard attempts to force the doctor to cut off the legs off Barbara's fiancé, and graft them onto his body.
Solid drama, with Chaney in top form and does some incredible work with his legs strapped behind him. In one scene, he grabs onto pegs and pulls himself up a wall in his home, using sheer arm strength.
Contemporaneous advertisements claimed that Chaney could only perform for about seven minutes at a time with his legs strapped up, since the pain was brutal.
Despite the plot, this movie is not as bizarre as it sounds. It is definitely worth a look.
