Output (English): Anna Jacqueline Gadsden cannot bring herself to tell her professional magician husband, Phroso Lon Chaney, that she is leaving him. Her lover, Crane Lionel Barrymore, informs Phroso that he is taking Anna to Africa, shoving the distraught husband away so forcefully that he falls over a railing and is crippled, losing the use of his legs. After a year, Phroso learns that Anna has returned. He finds his wife dead in a church, with a baby beside her. He swears to avenge himself on both Crane and the child. Eighteen years later, Phroso rules a small outpost inhabited by Doc Warner Baxter, Babe Kalla Pasha, Tiny Tiny Ward and native Bumbu Curtis Nero in the African jungle. Through his magic tricks, he dominates the local tribe. He has his men steal ivory repeatedly from Crane by having Tiny dress up as an evil voodoo spirit to frighten away Cranes porters. Meanwhile, Phroso sends Babe to bring back blonde Maizie Mary Nolan from the lowest dive in Zanzibar, where Phroso has had her raised. She is told only that she will finally meet her father. When she arrives, Phroso denies being Maisies father to her great relief, but refuses to tell her why she has been brought there and treats her with undisguised hatred. The first night, she witnesses a gruesome tribal custom: when a man dies, his wife or daughter is burned alive on his funeral pyre. As the days go by, Maizie gradually wins the perpetually drunk Docs heart. However, Phroso turns her into an alcoholic. Phroso sends word to Crane where he can find the robber of his ivory. When Crane shows up, Phroso tells Crane that Maizie is his daughter. To Phrosos surprise, Crane breaks out in laughter. He informs Phroso that Anna never went with him because she hated him for paralyzing her husband. Maizie is actually Phrosos child. Before he can absorb the news, the next step of his plan unfolds; the natives shoot and kill Crane. Phroso uses a magic trick to try to save Maisie from being burned alive. With the natives watching, he puts her in a wooden box with a secret exit and closes it. When he reopens it, there is a skeleton inside. Meanwhile, Doc, Maizie and the others flee by boat. However, the natives dont believe Phrosos claim that an evil spirit has taken Maizie. The screen fades to black as the natives close in on Phroso. Later, a native fishes a medallion out of a bonfire, the same medallion that had hung around Phrosos neck.
