PRODUCER
the accepted vehicle of its day — rattles across the Western plains. Inside, distinguished from the other passengers by her comeliness, sits a young woman who is on her way to join her brother at a ranch dangerously near hostile Indian territory. Attentive to her — so far as he can be under the circumstances — is a young army officer who has been assigned to a military post in the heart of the Indian domain. The Indians are known to be far from peacefully inclined. With such a setting, something is certain to happen !
It happens very soon — and with plenty of action and thrills. An attack on the coach by Indians gives a thrilling chase in which the young officer, Lieutenant Scott, by clever trickery and wonderful riding, thwarts the raiders and brings the stage safely to the post, where he is acclaimed a hero by everyone except Captain Ortwell, his superior officer, who resents having any heroes around the place besides himself.
At the fort, the troopers furnish Scott an outlaw mount, with the expectation of his humiliation, but to the amazement and delight of all, he subdues the outlaw in an exhibition of bucking seldom equalled on the screen.
Of course, Captain Ortwell and Lieutenant Scott are rivals for the affections of the young woman, Jane Logan, who visits the fort. To get his rival at least temporarily, and perhaps permanently, out of the way, Captain Ortwell assigns to Lieutenant Scott the dangerous errand of forestalling an Indian raid, fomented by a treacherous redskin, Scarface, who is actually spying within the fort.
A false message by Scarface sends Captain Ortwell and the garrison to a distant mining camp, giving the Indians an excellent opportunity to attack the fort.
A terrific battle ensues between the surrounding redskins and the few remaining occupants of the fort, who are about to be annihilated when Lieutenant Scott, after another thrilling escape from Indian pursuit, brings back the troop barely in time to save the fort and his sweetheart — and everything ends happily.
This is an exceptionally good Western drama, and will thrill every spectator. 4892 feet standard lenath — on 5 reels Rental $625
