The 1923 Silent Classic
Lon Chaney plays Wilse Dilling, a crippled brute living in the savage streets of Chinatown, ruled by the crime lord Queen Ann. Her blackmail scheme sends Wilse undercover to a nearby small town, where he meets people who are willing to look past his deformity and he desperately tries to reinvent his life. While he falls in love with the banker's only daughter, his underworld ties begin pulling him back to his old ways. As his lurid past and his new dreams collide, Wilse fights his way to a final, spectacular, earth-shattering clash with the evil Queen Ann.
