synopsis
The third entry in western star Roy Stewart's "Red Saunders" series for the languishing Triangle company, By Proxy is basically Cyrano de Bergerac translated to a western setting. Stewart plays the handsome cowboy who proposes to a lovely prairie flower on behalf of a less valorous friend (John Lince). Unfortunately, he kidnaps the wrong girl (Maude Wayne) but they fall in love, and all ends well. Neither Stewart nor director Clifford Smith were too comfortable with such romantic nonsense and would quickly return to more robust fare.
