Synopsis by Janiss Garza
Longtime collaborators Cecil B. DeMille and Jeanie MacPherson penned the screenplay for this Wallace Reid feature. Reid plays sheriff Dan Deering, who is in love with an independent young lady, Kate Kenner (Cleo Ridgley). Although Kate does find gold, her claim is jumped. The jumpers attack Deering, who is trying to help the girl, but he is saved by the notorious bandit, Silver Spurs (Earle Foxe). Kate disguises herself as Silver Spurs in an attempt to get her gold back. Deering captures her and, believing that she really is the bandit, reluctantly puts her on trial. The real Silver Spurs comes in and saves Kate but again eludes capture. This action adventure from the teens shows that not all female characters of the day were sweet, reticent things.
