She is rescued and also repeatedly tied up (though for benevolent reasons) by Secret Agent [[69_(sex_position)|U-69]]. The moustachioed villain "Sir Dystic D'Arcy" was based on Willie himself. Though it has been compared to ''[[The Perils of Pauline (1914 serial)|The Perils of Pauline]]'', Willie stated that he had not seen the film or even heard of it until much later in his career. | + | |
