Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Universal's humorously sloppy western hero Hoot Gibson starred in this average silent oater about a rugged ranch foreman who must prove his true worth in order to marry a banker's daughter (Ethel Shannon). As usual, Gibson played his character for laughs, and this film only added to his popularity. Buckaroo Kid was also an early showcase for freckled child actor Newton House, the star of the studio's popular "Champion Boy Rider" two-reel westerns 1927-1928.
