The story takes place in old Mexico, where a masked rider (Talmadge) and an impoverished girl (Bedford) fall in love, against her father's wishes. When she leaves with him, her father sends his gang in a chase after the two lovers.
Background/Production
Originally intended to be an all-sound film, the picture was shot silent and was distributed with a music and special effects soundtrack, with no dialogue, due to technical issues with the sound synchronization equipment.
Preservation
Previously considered to be a lost film.[2] The film exists in a Spanish archive Filmoteca De Catalunya, Barcelona.[3]

gollark: Plus the concurrency features are really overhyped. I mean, channels are neat, but not amazing, and there are libraries, and green threads... same thing.
gollark: Oh, and it goes for looking simple over actually being simple and consistent, hence the horrible verbosity.
gollark: *cough*generics*cough*
