Synopsis
Bien qu'il soit innocent, Boston Harry doit être pendu par des miliciens pour le meurtre de Jim Beckworth. Un ami de Boston, le cow-boy Steve Kendall, le sauve, même s'ils sont tous deux amoureux de Juanita, une femme à moitié mexicaine. Steve et Boston se précipitent chez Juanita, où ils se disputent à son sujet. Pendant qu'ils se battent, Nikkos, un autre admirateur de Juanita, vole leur argent et les enferme dans un placard. Ils s'échappent juste avant l'arrivée d'un posse. Steve et Boston se rencontrent à nouveau à Poker City, où Steve tombe amoureux de Sally Warren, pour apprendre que Boston l'a rencontrée en premier. Boston reconnaît Bud, le frère de Sally, comme l'homme qui a tué Beckworth, mais ne dit rien pour épargner les sentiments de Sally. Après que Nikkos et Bud ont organisé un hold-up, Steve et Boston sont accusés du crime lorsqu'une femme reconnaît un collier que Boston a donné à Sally. Bien que Boston insiste pour dire qu'il a acheté le collier à Nikkos, celui-ci jure qu'il était avec Bud pendant le vol et Sally corrobore leur alibi. Plus tard, avec l'aide de Sally, Steve et Boston s'évadent de prison juste avant d'être lynchés. Pendant la fusillade qui s'ensuit, Bud essaie d'avouer, mais Nikkos lui tire dessus. Avant de mourir, Bud a le temps d'avouer ses crimes, innocentant Steve et Boston. Steve réconforte Sally et, quand Boston réalise qu'elle aime son ami, il s'écarte.Actors

Bob Stevens (Bob Steele) is a young man living in the old west who wants to get out and see the world before he has to settle down and live responsibly. His uncle Harry (Steve Clark), a deputy marshal of the town of Tracy, wants Bob to take up that line of work, which Bob initially refuses. But then Harry recognizes wanted gang members Jack Slade (Mauritz Hugo) and Mary Conway, alias Blanche (Veda Ann Borg), and is murdered by them as he tries to order them out of town. Seeking justice, Bob then joins the U.S. Marshals after all, along with his friend, Parkford (Hoot Gibson). Arriving in Tracy, Bob poses as a trouble-making criminal in order to be recruited to join Slade's gang, which Hoot separately comes to town in the guise of a "dude," a more cultured speech-maker in the name of law and order. In the end, the criminals are discovered and defeated in a shootout.

A young boy named Jimmy is devastated after learning of the death of famed train engineer Casey Jones with whom he was good friends. In the following years, he grows up to be a train engineer, too. One morning, as Jimmy is piloting his train the brakes lose their air pressure, and the train roars along unable to be slowed or stopped. Jimmy tells the mechanic to fix it, but knowing that there is a sharp curve coming up soon and that the train will go off the tracks the mechanic jumps off the train instead. Jimmy then grabs a wrench and climbs out onto the side of the engine to try to fix it himself, but while stretching to reach the loose hose connection he is jostled and falls off the train just moments before it goes off the tracks at the curve. Unfortunately, gossip around town is that Jimmy jumped off his train two and a half miles before the curve, which was untrue, and he is branded a coward. Worse, he did not let other trains know, and as a result he is let go as engineer. The fact that Jimmy did not sign up and volunteer for army duty, as many other boys did at the time, also rankled many and added heavily to the idea that he was a coward. Actually, he had planned to sign up but his mother had a heart attack and the doctor told him if he did his mother would likely have another heart attack and it would be fatal this time. One of Jimmy's closest coworkers, who trusts him implicitly and doesn't believe the gossip, convinces the railroad to rehire him, though they will not make him an engineer again. The best they offer is a position as fireman on the train engineered by his friend (who humbly denies to Jimmy that he had anything to do with getting him back in). One dark night as their train is roaring along it loses its air pressure the same way Jimmy's had before. The engineer stoically - or more likely in shock - stands mute at the controls prepared to go all the way with the train, but Jimmy grabs a wrench and climbs out onto the engine to fix it. He succeeds and then carries the limp engineer off the train. After that he is re-branded as a hero and offered his old position as engineer again.
