At the time of its release, Traffic in Souls became a huge moneymaker. This film about the white slave trade remains watchable chiefly because of director George Loane Tucker's sure touch. Tucker became a major name in the 1910s, but had his career cut short by illness. He died in 1921 at the age of 49. Most of his films are now lost.
