A stylish silent-era serial about a masked avenger dispensing justice against corruption, balancing melodramatic vengeance with moral righteousness.

When an unscrupulous banker ruins his family, a young man swears to bring him to justice, so he adopts a new identity, the mysterious Judex, and ominously disguised and sunk into the muddy path of vengeance, punishes the crooks and protects the innocents. (Originally a twelve-part epic serial.)
