Synopsis: [The Film Daily, 1 January 1928, page 7] A special investigator for the Cattlemen’s Association, assigned to arresting horse rustlers, is pursued by the heavies. He hides in a ranch house, with the aid of an attractive girl, whom the outlaws kidnap, believing that she has witnessed what is believed to have been the murder of the investigator. He overtakes the rustlers and, of course, rescues the fair lady. All old stuff, with the riding the best feature.
