The Unknown

In the midst of a society plagued by profiteers and corrupt financiers, a masked vigilante known as 'The Unknown' emerges as a champion of the people, leading a crusade against exorbitant prices and oppression. By day, he is Dick Talmadge, the indolent son of Parker Talmadge, a powerful figure in the flour market, but by night, he dons a mask and fights for justice. As Dick's dual identities become increasingly complicated, he finds himself at the center of a tumultuous love affair with Sylvia Sweet, the daughter of sugar baron J. Malcolm Sweet, who is torn between her admiration for The Unknown and her disdain for Dick's apparent worthlessness. As the battle between The Unknown and the profiteers reaches its climax, Dick's true identity is revealed, and Sylvia must reevaluate her feelings for the man behind the mask.
