Hairbreadth Harry: Fearless Harry (1926) Short, Comedy Silent Film

Hairbreadth Harry is forever tasked with rescuing Beautiful Belinda (Charlotte Merriam) from peril. She's introduced as being "so warm-hearted she had to wear asbestos lingerie," and proves it by kicking up a flapper storm in the middle of a public park. This revelry is short-lived however, as the lady is soon held hostage for her father's "secret formula" by Relentless Rudolph (John J. Richardson) and his henchmen in a hideout tricked out with haunted-house trap doors and other frights, even a mummy.
