The Golden Stallion (1927)

The first serial Nat Levine produced was "The Silent Flyer", which was distributed by Universal Pictures. "The Golden Stallion" was the first serial that carried the Mascot Pictures logo, as Levine figured out he could make more money distributing his films through the states-rights system himself. This one has good guy Wynne Kendall (Maurice 'Lefty' Flynn) and bad guy Ewart Garth (Joe Bonomo)searching for the secret clue to a fabulous gold mine. But first, they have to capture a wild horse named "White Fury" as the clue is branded on his neck. It only took 10 chapters to get there.
