AllMovie

A rural melodrama rather than a straight Western, this silent Wally Wales vehicle stars the future Hal Taliaferro as Wally Moore, a young rancher serving a sentence of hard labor for a crime he didn't commit. Released from prison, Wally returns to his hometown only to find that Ma (Louise Lester) has lost the livestock to rustlers and the ranch itself to Banker Brown (Richard Belfield), the very same man whose little daughter (Gretchen Waterman) Wally just saved from a runaway carriage. The banker, as it turns out, is in cahoots with rustler Jack Bowers (Charles "Slim" Whitaker) and the only people in town rooting for Wally are kindhearted Sheriff Jenkins (Lawrence Underwood) and his daughter, Helen (Jessie Cruzon).
