Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Produced and directed by poverty row regular Duke Worne, this silent Northwest melodrama starred Napoleon (who, of course, bore the "last name" of Bonaparte), one of Rin-Tin-Tin's less successful imitators. Before leaving to search for gold, Bud Taylor (Robert Frazer) presents his girlfriend Mary Stoddard (Edna Murphy) with a German shepherd pup. The pooch (Napoleon) takes an instant dislike to Bud's rival, Wade Burton (Ernest Hilliard), later saving both his master and Mary from Burton's greed.
