Synopsis
Sheriff Jim Porter and his posse follow a mysterious masked bandit who eludes them even though he is wounded. Porter is infatuated with Jean Bennett, the proprietor of a store in Sagebrush, who gives a grub-stake to old Cactus Barnes, a prospector searching for a lost mine. Tex Broderick, the wounded masked bandit, hides out in Jean's store and she nurses him back to health. Soon Cactus finds the lode, but is cheated of his money in a poker game in Bowie Harris's Ace High Saloon. To retrieve Jean's share of Cactus's money, Tex fights with Bowie, and later that night breaks into Bowie's safe and escapes. Porter soon receives a telegram from Lone City, demanding the arrest of the masked bandit for cattle rustling. Porter is dissuaded by Jean, who now sends her money to the Stockman bank, rather than by the stage. When Tex serves as escort, he is waylaid by Bowie and Blackie and is arrested by Porter. Jean later helps him to escape, but is discovered by Porter. Together with Cactus, Tex disables three bandits at the saloon and shoots the fleeing Bowie. Tex then admits his identity to Porter and reveals that rather than stealing, he was actually recapturing his own cattle from the rustlers. Jean misconstrues Tex's confession and leads a posse against him. She is intercepted by Porter, however, and after learning the truth, she leaves with the wounded Tex for his ranch.

Notes
According to Motion Picture Almanac, The Outlaw Tamer was the second in a series of six projected "Phantom Rider" westerns starring Lane Chandler. The The Exhibitor review erroneously calls it the first, which actually was The Lone Bandit. No additional films were made in the series. H. and H. Productions was headed by Fred S. Hirsch and Robert Hoyt. According to modern sources, the cast also included Tex Palmer and Herman Hack.
