Production
This film was shot in 1918 by the historic Triangle Film Corporation and has a checkered distribution history. By 1920, Triangle had gone out of business. The film had a limited release in mid-1920 and was acquired by a different distributor, Film Booking Offices of America, in late 1920 for re-release in 1921.[3][4]
