Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Tom Latigo, a roving cowboy, rescues a desperado from a posse and out of gratitude the desperado reveals a plot by another man to steal from a young woman a valuable gold claim. The cowboy starts out to prevent the plotters from stealing the claim. His life and the life of Leila Gordon, the young woman who has inherited the claim from her father, are several times endangered during the events that ensue, including when Tom saves her from being trampled under the hoofs of a cattle stampede. However, from each danger the pair escapes, and finally the villains are arrested and brought to justice.
