synopsis
Rancher Buck Jones goes undercover as a ranch hand on his own spread in this fairly well-paced silent Western, the last under the star's contract with Fox. A gang of land grabbers has taken over the place, led by the ubiquitous crooked foreman (Robert Kortman), but Buck prevails and wins the lovely Kathryn Perry in the process. Playing Perry's brother is young Austin Jewell, a bespectacled kid actor who later became secretary to Columbia czar Harry Cohn and, later still, production manager of films such as Terms of Endearment (1983).
