Production

The website Obscure Hollywood describes the context of the film as follows: "In 1915, Douglas Fairbanks, a twelve-year Broadway veteran, was starring in a stage vehicle tailor-made to his personality and athletic skills. Promised that D. W. Griffith would direct his productions (he never did), Fairbanks accepted a three-year contract to make films for Harry Aitken's Triangle Motion Picture Company and its subsidiary Fine Arts Film Company.
