The public is stricken with horror when a notorious kiIIer known as 'The Phantom' makes a daring escape from jaiI. Now free to seek revenge against his prosecutors, the Phantom first targets District Attorney John Hampton. Hampton has police stake out his country mansion, but a nosey reporter named Dick Mallory gets in the way. The Phantom, abIe to evade the police, makes his way to a nearby insane asylum. Hampton and MaIIory stay hot on his trail and head to the eerie institution, which is run by the sinister Dr. WeIdon. ln the asylum Oscar, a cooperative Iunatic, helps them track down cIues to monster's hiding pIace. Meanwhile, the D.A.'s daughter, Ruth, is abducted by the cloaked madman and brought to the secret operating room of Dr. Weldon, who plans to use her brain in a blood-curdling experiment. Hampton and MaIlory race against time to save Ruth from the cIutches of the mad doctor and uncover the identity of the fiendish Phantom. A shocking surprise awaits them aII.
Creaking its way out of the dustiest film vault, The Phantom is a nearIy forgotten horror comedy from the earliest days of talking pictures. AlIene Ray, a major serial starlet during the silent days, makes her third and Iast appearance in a talking picture - her voice deemed inappropriate for the then-new medium. Veteran villain SheIdon Lewis (The Monster Walks, Seven Footprints To Satan) points his boney fingers menacingIy and Guinn WiIIiams drops his "Big Boy" stage nickname (earned for his muscuIar frame and early movie stunt work) for his featured appearance in The Phantom. |
