When he was still using the name Jack Ford, the famous Western director made this Cheyenne Harry film with Harry Carey. Carey would play this same character for over two decades, starting with 1916's A Knight of the Range up to 1936's Aces Wild. This period also includes the film Straight Shooting, Ford's first feature film.
Cheyenne Harry has ended up in the town of Rawhide after running from the law after a poker game turns into a gun battle. While there, dance hall girl Bess is kidnapped by a gang leader named Beau Ross and taken to his desert camp. Why would the dastardly Beau steal away a woman caring for her sick mother? Well, he is a Western movie bad guy, right?
Ford was able to capture some incredible scenery for this film which looks stunning now that this film has been restored.
