The Greater Law

The Greater Law follows the story of Barbara Henderson as she journeys to the Klondike in search of her missing brother, Jimmy. Upon arrival, she discovers that he has been murdered, leading her to seek revenge for his death. This narrative dives into the emotional turmoil and determination of a sister unwilling to accept loss without retribution.

As a lost film, The Greater Law represents a rare piece of cinematic history. The film's 1917 release places it within the silent era, a time when storytelling relied heavily on visuals and performances. Collectors may find interest in its historical context and the significance of its preservation efforts. The movie's connection to Universal Film Manufacturing Company adds another layer of allure for those focused on studio history and early filmmaking.
