Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
One of the greatest western stars of all time, Ken Maynard began his long starring career for poverty-row producer J. Charles Davis. In this typical low-budget oater, Ken plays a ranch foreman suspected of being the Black Hawk, leader of a gang of outlaws. He isn't, of course, and manages to catch the real gang leader (Tom London. Davis had hired six former Ziegfeld girls for this series and it was always interesting to see how they would be fitted into the western decor. This time, the girls played stranded tourists and got in the way of the action from time to time to show a bit of leg.
