Desc: The Flame of Life: Directed by Hobart Henley. With Priscilla Dean, Robert Ellis, Kathryn McGuire, Wallace Beery. Joan Lowrie and her brutal father, Dan, labor in the English coal mines of the 1870's. Fergus Derrick, a new over-man, attempts to make his workers' lives more bearable but incurs Lowrie's wrath when he fires him for smoking in the mine.
