A shark bite changes the life of a man who has married into society.

Reviews

“A whale of an audience picture that will tap money anywhere. It has a couple of thrills that are real thrills, and with it a society atmosphere and a full portion of sex stuff. It is certain to get record box-office returns, although it does seem that Lost Souls might have been a better title than Feet of Clay.”

– The Weekly Variety, September 24, 1924
