The slightly cherubic looking Tom Keene is "Reid" - sworn to avenge the murder of his father in a robbery at the hands of "Red Gentry" (Charles King). "Gentry" has abandoned girlfriend "Roxey" (Betty Compson) and so the pair hook up to track him down. En route, they discover some gold too - and with local blacksmith "Sandy" (Billy Bletcher) they agree to share any proceeds from their claim. Still with me? Phew... anyway, "Reid" takes a bit of a shine to their new partner's daughter "Betty" (Charlotte Henry) but must settle with his antagonist (who has fled to Canada where he has become a thorn in the side of the RCMP) before they can settle down and enjoy their new found wealth. Compson probably steals the show, Keene just sort of bumbles along - but it does have quite an enjoyable denouement and kills an hour of anyone's time if you like the genre - and the cheaper end of those productions at that.
