a Paramount Picture

There is a mystery of real thrill
the search for a murderer in the wilds
of the western country. Like a blood
hound, Hart follows his man into the
hills and becomes one of the bandit
crew which is protecting the culprit.

learns to love the sister of the man
he is after, and the latter saves him
from death at the hands of the
bandits.
How this situation is made to end
happily will puzzle the spectators to
