Marian explains that she is looking for a redheaded husband. All the men are smitten with her, and several, including Jerry, try to dye their hair red. In partnership with Sourdough Jackson, Jerry purchases a small ranch plot and builds a cabin, in hopes of presenting it to Marian. Then Wender, a man with flaming red hair, applies for work at the ranch, and to Jerry's chagrin, he seems to wield an influence over the girl. Meanwhile, Jerry and Sourdough find a child near their cabin and adopt him. "Red," with his gang, robs a mine and steals the payroll, then claims the boy as his son and later throws suspicion on Jerry. In a fight with Jerry, Red falls to his death, leaving Marian, his former wife, free to marry Jerry. Written by AFI See less
