Webs Of Steel

A long-lost silent railroad melodrama, Webs of Steel featured the highly novel idea of having a gang of train robbers, headed by J.P. McGowan and Fred Mack, employ a device that deafens the engineer by playing sinister music. William Scott played the engineer, Helen Holmes was his bride, and together they managed so foil the evil scheme. Holmes' husband, J.P. McGowan, also directed and the programmer was produced by Poverty Row regular Morris R. Schlank.
