The film was considered a lost film for decades.[1] A small fragment was discovered at the Danish Film Institute film archive in Denmark. The fragment does not contain any Chaney footage at all, however.[2] Richard Schayer later went on to write the screenplay for Chaney's 1927 Tell It to the Marines.[3]
