Plot

The Latigo stage coach is fired upon by Black Dan's gang. The coach travels a distance of 40 miles to reach the railroad. Black Dan's men know that the coach is delivering gold, but they are driven off by Jerry Donovan who has charge of the Halfway Place which is located on the route. Jerry helps the driver off the coach, the latter being wounded. Then he places the gold on the back of a donkey, saddles his own horse, and drives away. On the way he grows hungry and stops at a cabin where Janet Leigh, a charming young girl, lives alone. The sheriff leaves just before he arrives. The sheriff informs her that he is looking for a fellow who answers Jerry's description. The poster states that a $5,000 reward will be paid. The girl feeds him, eyeing him suspiciously. She hides his gold when he steps outside to pump water for her. He rides away and soon becomes aware of the fact that Black Dan's gang is following him. He stops, opening his bags to see the gold and hide it. To his surprise he sees stones which the girl had substituted. The girl, meanwhile, phones for the sheriff. Jerry is overtaken by the bandits. He shows them that he has only stones. The girl comes up, claiming half the reward, she thinking they are the sheriff's men. She tells them that the gold is in her cabin. The bandits ride to get it. The sheriff's posse overtakes them and arrests the bunch. The sheriff tells the girl that Jerry is merely wanted by his father.—Universal Weekly, November 14, 1925
