Plot Summary
John Wesley Pringle (Carey), an adventurer, returns to Gadsden
to claim the girl Stella (Golden), only to find out that she is in love with Chris Foy (Steele).
Chris has been accused of a murder that he did not commit.
Sheriff Matt Lisner (Le Moyne) searches Stella's house for Chris,
but finds out that he is hiding in the mountains.
Sheriff Lisner and his crowd set off for the mountains
to get Chris and claim a reward for his capture.
John gets to the mountains by a back route and pretends to rescue Chris,
but surprises both the Sheriff and Chris by claiming the reward for himself.
John then orders Sheriff Lisner to release Chris, saying that this
was all a ruse to rescue Chris and get him safely from the mountain top.
John then reveals evidence which shows that Lisner is the real murderer,
and Chris returns to Stella, while John goes on his way without ever revealing his love for the girl.
