The Phantom of the Forest is a 1926 American silent Western film, also classified as a Northern. It is directed by Henry McCarty and stars Thunder the Dog, Betty Francisco and Eddie Phillips. Produced by the independent Gotham Pictures, location shooting took place around the Redwood Forest in Santa Cruz County, California. The film was designed as a vehicle for Thunder, an Alsatian who was featured in several films during the 1920s. It was released in Great Britain the same year by Stoll Pictures.




Plot


As described in a film magazine review, while a pup, Thunder runs wild in the forest, but becomes attached to Helen Taylor, who owns land that has oil prospects and is mortgaged. Certain land speculators plot to seize the property, but are prevented by Frank Wallace who pays the interest. The plotters set fire to the forest. Helen and Frank are trapped, and then escape by a hair's breadth. Thunder fights his way through the flames and rescues a sick child. At the end, Frank and Helen are united.
