Strung around the idea of reincarnation, this film goes back in time to the days of the Spanish galleons and pirates burying their treasure; treasure to be found centuries later.
Cast
Marion Davies as Pauline Vandermuellen / Lucia / others
In her 10th film, Marion Davies plays a young woman whose trances lead her to a pirate's treasure. The theme of reincarnation was rare for the time. This was the first film in which Davies played a dual role: She plays the modern-day Pauline as well as the Spanish Lucia. This was also the first Davies production to be filmed on the West Coast, with several scenes filmed on Catalina. The prologue to the film shows Davies as a cavewoman, an Egyptian princess, a medieval damsel, and as Lucia.[3]
