Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Minor (in status if not physique) western hero Leo Maloney produced, directed and starred in this slipshod silent western melodrama about a drifter who helps a pretty ranch owner Josephine Hill defeat a nasty land speculator (Milton Fahrney). But, in a plot twist all too common to pulp fiction like this, the villain proves to be the girl's long-lost father. Well-known western character Tom London appears as one of the ranch hands under his real name, Leonard Clapham.
