Plot

As described in a film magazine,[2] Cheyenne Harry (Carey) has a sheriff and posse on his trail because of his knowledge of a cattle rustling incident and makes a dash for safety across the Canada–US border. When the posse stops at the border, he calmly waves his gun and rolls a cigarette. The sheriff, however, has contacted the Canadian Mounted Police, and they are soon watching Harry. He finds refuge with a band of Indians, but then clashes over an Indian girl (May) with Black Michael (Harris), leader of a gang of whiskey runners. Harry's real love is with Kate (Gerber), daughter of local trader Angus McDougal (Fenton). However, his rival here is also Black Michael. Michael kills an Indian and abducts Kate, but Harry follows and rescues her. Harry beats Michael in a terrific fight, with Michael confessing to his crimes before dying.

Cast
gollark: So how do you solve this? Just have someone say "no phones for you if you ask for them too often"?
gollark: It's more efficient in terms of output things per input things.
gollark: You can't reasonably cater to every individual separately, because mass production is more efficient.
gollark: But what the people want is *to some extent* what gets produced, because if you don't produce things people want they won't buy it.
gollark: And the money can act as a decent signalling mechanism that you actually want something, like on Kickstarter and whatnot.
