Synopsis

"'Lightning' Carson and a chance acquaintance, Jim Hampton, drift into a little town in the West. Desperately in need of money, Jim suggests that they hold up the Wells-Fargo office. The suggestion is overheard. By chance, the express office is robbed and the two are suspected. Hampton is thrown into jail and 'Lightning' pursued by the Sheriff. He meets Jim's sister and falls in love with her. When the Sheriff finally traps 'Lightning' it is found he is a Texas Ranger. They join forces and a battle follows between them and the real outlaws. When the bandits are captured 'Lightning' claims Jim's sister Betty." ( Motion Picture News Booking Guide, 4:29, Apr 1923.)
