Directed and written by veteran character actor Paul Hurst, this low-budget silent Western starred Neal Hart as John Marvin, a drifter who comes to the aid of a beleaguered female sheep farmer, Kate Bowers (Hazel Maye). Kate's late father had promised his cattle ranching neighbors not to let his sheep graze on their land, a promise Kate herself cannot live up to. The girl is pursued by lecherous Palque Powell (William Quinn), who takes umbrage to Marvin's arrival and attempts to get rid of his rival by blowing him to kingdom come. Marvin, however, escapes serious injury and is able to save Kate from the angry cattle ranchers. Table Top Ranch was produced by William Steiner. Maye also acted under the name Hazel Deane.
