Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Forgotten silent Western star J.B. Warner had the lead role in this minor oater produced by Anthony J. Xydias' penny-pinching Sunset Productions. Warner played Certain Lee, a Texas Ranger who catches a gang of cattle rustlers. Falsely believing Certain has jailed her boyfriend, Rose Trimball (Josephine Hill) helps gang leader Harvey Bates (Vester Pegg) frame him. The plan misfires, and Certain not only brings Bates to justice but also wins Rose's affection. A handsome cowboy hero and not a bad actor, Warner, sadly, died of tuberculosis less than a year after making The Lone Fighter.
