Info

Hanging from a rope over the track, the detective seems certain to plunge to death when the oncoming train splits the knot of the rope which has been tied to a rail and slung over the bridge girder. Helen's presence of mind and nerve in swinging out over the river on the other end of the rope and thus balancing the detective until the train has passed prevents the terrible catastrophe. Later, when pursuing the culprits, Helen once more takes her life in her hands by throwing a lasso from the hand car on which they are pursuing the freight over the brake beam, and then crawling hand over hand to the top of the car.

The Detective's Peril Audience Reviews

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
