Unable to pay, Strand gives him a mortgage on his ranch. Strand's daughter, Joan, discovers that the cards were marked. She and her father pursue and over-take Kane demanding the return of the mortgage. He sneers at them and then punches Strand. Joan trips him and he goes over a precipice but is unhurt when his father, a grasping old villain, happens along and picks him up. Kane tells his father to frighten Strand by representing that he has been killed by the fall. Old Kane accordingly accuses Joan, who takes to her horse and flies before the posse, taking refuge with an old squaw in the hills. Kane then threatens to put Joan through the toils for murder unless Strand will sign a clear title to the ranch. Strand sends the ranch foreman to warn Joan that the posse will soon find her unless she gets further away in the hills. Young Kane tracks her to the squaw's shack and tries to overcome her, but the foreman arrives in time to fight a losing battle with Kane that enables Joan to escape, arriving in her father's house just as he has signed the deed, which she tears up. Old Kane places her under arrest, swearing that his son is dead. As the sheriff leads her away the foreman is seen approaching with young Kane his prisoner. Seeing the game is up, Old Kane tries to escape, but Joan rides him down and brings him back at the end of a rope. Written by Universal Weekly, May 29, 1926 See less
