Officer 444 is a 1926 film serial directed by Francis Ford and Ben F. Wilson, produced by Goodwill Productions and released by the independent Davis Distributing Division. [1]
Officer 444, a heroic policeman, does battle with The Frog, a criminal mastermind who is trying to get his hands on Haverlyte, a formula that is so powerful whoever had it would possess enough power to control the entire world.
During filming in Berkley, two stunt performers were injured. Ben F. Wilson's double, Roy Steele, was climbing hand-over-hand along a wire when he fell on his back onto the net below. In another scene, Frank Baker fell backward from a window and hit the edge of the net, injuring him. Both were taken to Berkley General Hospital and survived. [2]
