Plot
editAs described in a film magazine review,[2] Bruce Taylor arrives at town with his dog Rex, horse Blackie, and a baby he found in the desert. He takes care of the infant and falls in love with Molly Markham, whose grandfather is under the financial power of Obediah Dillwater, suitor for Molly's hand. Molly helps Bruce out with the baby. Obediah has him arrested on a charge of kidnaping the infant. He escapes from jail with the aid of Rex and Blackie. Later Bruce returns with the sheriff and proof of his innocence, and finds Molly about to marry Obediah. He halts the forced marriage ceremony, whips Obediah, and is now able to wed Molly himself.
