Starring Lon Chaney

Lon Chaney, known as the man of a thousand faces, stars as Yen Sin, a Chinese laundryman struggling for acceptance in a narrow-minded, coastal fishing community. When he stumbles upon a plot to blackmail the town's minister, Yen Sin realizes that he can no longer hide in the shadows -- he must take a risk and confront the villain who threatens the village's well-being. After a woman remarries, her thought-to-be-dead husband returns and blackmails her and her new husband.  Yen Sin helps to expose the plot so that they may continue to live happily ever after.
