In this chapter of *The Master Mystery*, Harry Houdini stands out in a cliffhanger built around a hanging-noose peril, the kind of danger his escape act made him famous for. The 1919 serial ran in 15 chapters, and Houdini played Quentin Locke, an investigator pursuing a criminal mastermind. Audiences were drawn to it as much for his daring stunts as for its plot. Serials like this were released weekly in theaters, so each episode ended on a threat that kept viewers returning for the next installment.
