Originally a bank clerk, Bingham was framed for theft, but he refused to go quietly into police custody. Dubbed, "The Night Wind" by the police for his elusiveness, he remained a fugitive until he could clear his name.

He was aided by Kate Maxwell, a nurse turned police detective, called in to capture Harvard. She becomes convinced that he is innocent and they fall in love. After getting married, they leave the country for a time, before returning with evidence to clear Harvard's name.

He was at least five times stronger than the average man, and frequently broke the limbs of the police who tried to apprehend him. He had been an orphan, so the source of his strength is unclear.

His ability to evade capture was due to extreme ingenuity and luck so he is at least in the same category of "very lucky" vigilantes and anti-heroes as Daredevil, Batman and the many Golden Age comic book two-fisted characters whose survival seems providential in situations that would kill or maim a normal man.
