Synopsis
Ben Warman, a likable boy with a proclivity for gambling and fighting, alienates the owner of a saloon in a Western mining town by helping a girl remove her drunken father from the premises. In so doing he makes a friend of the Woman, a young schoolteacher who makes Ben promise to give up his vices. Their romance is endangered, however, by the arrival of an Eastern girl, who takes a fancy to Ben, and her brother, who falls for the schoolteacher. The Easterners see that the schoolteacher gets false reports of the cause of Ben's fights, and the schoolteacher leaves for the East to study music. The saloon owner, enlisting the aid of an adventuress, hatches a plan to defraud Ben of a mine claim, but the schoolteacher returns in time to foil the scheme and be reunited with Ben.

Notes
The film was shot at the Lakeside Studios in Denver. It was made available to state rights buyers in November-December 1920, but it was not reviewed in Moving Picture World until February 19, 1921. It had a variety of titles before its release: The Vanishing Strain, Ben Warman, A Good Bad Man (abandoned because that title had been copyrighted for Douglas Fairbanks' 1916 film) and Broken Promises. One contemporary source lists the film as six reels instead of five. It May have been owned later and re-released by the Merit Film Corp.
