Bandits capture a gold shipment from the Colorado mines. Where did they get the information that the shipment was to be made? A detective is sent from the company&#39;s Chicago office to aid John Davis, mine superintendent, in finding the criminals. Under their very noses another shipment is stolen. Frank Lawlor, clerk in the office, loves Davis&#39; daughter, Dora. The girl feels a strange repugnance for the man. When the detective Murdock arrives, her woman&#39;s heart awakens. Lawler is angry, but conceals his feelings. Another shipment is to be made. Murdock gathers a posse and sends them out. He is starting himself for their hiding place when Dora comes along on her horse. Love drives out other thoughts for a few moments, when a sudden flash of sunlight strikes their faces. Murdock is startled. Taking his field-glasses he sees Lawler on a distant hill, flashing a signal with a mirror to someone below. The treacherous clerk returns to the office. Murdock, leading the posse, captures the accomplices. Dora is holding Lawlor at the office by pretending to accept his hated love making when the posse returns. Seeing the game is up, Lawlor attempts to escape, is shot and his body brought back. Dora and Murdock acknowledge their love as the picture fades.
A company detective goes undercover to expose a gang that uses inside information to rob gold shipments.
Lon Chaney made eight films in all for director Tod Browning and it would have been more, had he lived longer, because Browning had cast him as Count Dracula in the role that ended up with Bela Lugosi. So far, The Unknown is my favourite but I&#39;ve only seen half of them, if you can count what&#39;s left of London After Midnight as a complete film. As a stills reconstruction it&#39;s fascinating, but it isn&#39;t enough to even rate as a movie. By the Sun&#39;s Rays does still exist, thankfully, even though it was their first collaboration and was made in 1914, no less than thirteen years before London After Midnight. As such it&#39;s a historic piece of film, no doubt about it.<br/><br/>In fact this is so far back that Chaney isn&#39;t even top billed. M J MacQuarrie, whoever he is, has the starring role as &#39;John Murdock, the Detective&#39;. Chaney has to settle for second on the bill, as &#39;Frank Lawler, the Clerk&#39;, but he stamps his authority on the film in about half a second flat, shifting around in character like a chameleon while everyone else is just there. Lawler is obviously a bad man, leaving the Deep River Mining Co offices to orchestrate a robbery of their departing gold shipment, and it&#39;s the job of the good guy detective to catch him.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for M J MacQuarrie, there are only two reasons to watch this film. Chaney is one and Chaney and Browning together is the other. By the time detective John Murdock arrives to look into how the bandits are getting their information, it&#39;s already Chaney&#39;s film, literally as well as figuratively as we&#39;re five minutes into a film that only has a ten minute running time. MacQuarrie seems perfectly adequate in the part until Chaney walks onto screen at which point we simply forget who he is or why he&#39;s there. Chaney may be a little too much of the silent era villain but he&#39;s still amazing to watch.<br/><br/>For Browning&#39;s part, I get the impression that there&#39;s more going on here than was the norm at the time. To be fair, I&#39;m not really well versed in anything except slapstick from 1914 but this is still a notch or two above what I expected. Beyond the focal characters, there are plenty of others doing a lot more than just sitting around taking up screen space, for a start. It&#39;s also hardly the most detailed and deep plot ever put on screen, even in a ten minute short, but it compares well to things like the low budget westerns John Wayne was churning out in the thirties before he became a star. Given that it was made a couple of decades earlier in the year Charlie Chaplin made his first film, that&#39;s saying something.
This one reel silent film western isn&#39;t in the best of shape, but it features a rare good guy played by Lon Chaney at the beginning of his career. It&#39;s really a bit part, and he looks almost how you would expect him to look in real life. The film is pretty hard to follow because there isn&#39;t enough time for character or plot development, and both the title sequences and a shot of a letter seem to have faded with time. It&#39;s got the typical bandits (out to steal some gold), a hero, the damsel in distress, and several clichéd supporting characters (including Chaney). I rank this one as more a curiosity for film historians and students, one lessened in impact by the passage of time and a reminded that really nothing, including the best art, lasts forever.
