Drame
Lon Chaney naît de parents sourds-muets. Au contact de ses parents, il développe un don pour la pantomime et devient également expert du déguisement. Il se produit dans de petits spectacles où il rencontre une chanteuse nommée Cleva, qui devient sa femme. Celle-ci se retrouve enceinte, mais elle prend peur lorsqu'elle découvre le handicap dont sont atteints ses beaux-parents. Pensant un temps que son fils est lui-même sourd, elle retrouve le chemin des planches et commence à se désintéresser de son fils. Lon Chaney devient par la suite un des acteurs phare des studios Universal, interprétant plus d'une centaine de personnages.
