The Master Mystery part H
The Master Mystery part H is damaged, which is a true pity. Houdini is captured (again), tied up & thrown in the river -- which he escapes. Later, he does his famous packing crate escape -- but we see him put *into* the crate, but sadly the escape itself is lost footage. After several more escapes & recaptures (lost footage, unfortunately) he's tied into the "chair of death" - the electric chair.
