The Master Key is a 1914 American silent film serial directed by Robert Z. Leonard. It is considered to be lost, with only episode 5 of 15 surviving in the Library of Congress.[1] In parallel with the weekly film releases, Universal Film offered newspaper a print serial work illustrated with stills from the film.
