This budget DVD-R edition of this early Fairbanks film has been mastered from an 8mm reduction print copied from a source print of the Enterprise rerelease version with several sections of active decomposition.
The film is presented with a soundtrack of preexisting recordings.
Not a great disc so we recommend the Blu-ray Disc from Film Preservation Society as the best home video edition of this film.
