Dr. Culthers discovers a cure for drug addiction and wills the formula to his daughter, Mary, who is instructed to release it after his death. The doctor's greedy nephew, Vance Gordon, and his accomplices, Casper Darnell and Janet Warner, lure Culthers to the Florida Everglades and tie him to a tree, where he goes insane under the hot sun. The doctor breaks free and becomes known as the maniacal "Swamp Demon," until Mary foils the plot with the help of Dick Mason, and her father regains his sanity.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
