The Phantom Athlete (1919)

In a plot similar to, but predating, the later Superman stories, a young girl, Jenny, is involved in several dangerous adventures as a result of her possession of a valuable jewel. Each time she is saved by her normally shy, unassuming boyfriend, Audreses, who comes to her rescue disguised as a bare-chested wrestler wearing a mask.
