Synopsis
"Keats, in an effort to save his wayward weakling brother from the influence of a gang of rustlers and bad men, is compromised and suspected as one of the gang. He is captured by the vigilantes and about to be hung when the local sheriff ... liberates him through a ruse. Keats is recaptured and lodged in the local jail but escapes just in time to foil a lynching party and to interrupt a robbery of the Wells Fargo office by the local gang. He and the local sheriff capture the band. Subsequently, a confession from the dying brother, who has been shot by one of his old gang, exonerates Keats." ( Variety, 21 May 1924, p25.)
