Ridin' Easy

A stranger (played by Dick Hatton) arrives in the town of Big Horn and quickly runs afoul of Red Hawks's gang, some of whose members nearly beat him to death. Mary Lyons and her father come to the stranger's aid and take him to their ranch to tend his wounds. The town moneylender, who holds the mortgage on the Lyons ranch, persuades Hawks to rustle the cattle that Lyons is driving to market in order to pay off the mortgage. Dick learns of this plan and rides to warn Lyons. On the trail, he is waylaid by Hawks and several of his men. Dick eludes them and arrives in time to save Lyons. Red kidnaps Mary, taking her to the justice of the peace. Hawks is forcing the justice to marry them when the stranger arrives and knocks Hawks senseless. The stranger and Mary then make good use of the justice.
