Plot Summary
The Stranger (Carey) comes to town of Broken Buckle to start a gambling hall.
The Headlight, the existing gambling hall, is crooked,
and the Stranger wants to start a straight one. He meets Zoe Whipple (Ferguson)
who is attempting to reform the town and teaches school out of her home.
Misunderstandings arise between the Stranger and Zoe that are brought
about by Denver Red (Le Moyne), proprietor of the Headlight.
After Zoe pleads with the Stranger not to start a new gambling den,
the Stranger opens it to the public, but it turns out to be a new library and school.
After running Denver out of town, the Stranger wins Zoe.
