Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
In one of his better "Blue Streak" Westerns for Universal, Art Acord, playing Bill Bradley, saves Betty Brent (Velma Connor) and her kid brother, Mike (Jimsy Boudwin), from perishing in a forest fire. When word spreads that Betty is actually 18, a committee of citizens, headed by Cliff Barrowes (Edmund Cobb), marches into the Bradley homestead and forcibly removes the children. But Barrowes, whose father holds a mortgage on Bill's property, is soon wooing the girl himself. The girl gets herself kidnapped by a gang of outlaws, but is saved in the nick of time, not by Barrowes, but by Bill and his faithful dog, Rex. Bill receives a reward for rounding up the kidnappers, pays off his mortgage, and marries Betty.
