Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Based on a 1921 short story, Baa, Baa Black Sheep, by the prolific Wilbur C. Tuttle, this independently produced silent Western starred Neal Hart, a distant cousin of William S. Hart, as Rex Carson, a young rancher who turns highwayman in an attempt to protect the sheep farmers from the ubiquitous cattlemen's association. The plot was one of the most enduring clichés in Westerns of the 1920s. Black Sheep was produced by Louis Chaudet and Paul Hurst (who also directed) and released on the states rights market by Pinnacle Pictures.
