Hart and Lambert Hillyer and featuring Lon Chaney. Considered lost for decades, one of the five reels was found to have survived in a Russian archive, and is kept in the film archive of the Library of Congress.[1] PlotAs described in a film magazine,[2] Hame Bozzam (Chaney) the leader of a gang of cattle rustlers ruled Bozzam City and the only one to dispute his claim was Jefferson "Riddle" Gawne (Hart). Riddle is a man who seeks vengeance on the one who killed his brother Wesley. Before dying his brother reveals his killers name as Watt Hyat. An open breach in hostilities occurred when Kathleen Harkness (MacDonald), daughter of Colonel Harkness (Tilton), arrived in the west. Protecting her from insult, Riddle shoots two of Bozzam's men. Unknown to the young woman, her father is a member of Bozzam's cattle rustlers, and Bozzam holds this over his head so that he can marry Kathleen. Riddle's reputation suffers at their hands, and Kathleen repudiates him. Riddle then determines to clean up the town, and in the fight that follows Bozzam kidnaps his niece as well as Kathleen after fatally wounding her father. Riddle, lone handed, pursues the fleeing man and his companions. After the chase Riddle captures,fights and kills Bozzams henchman Paisley. During the fight Riddles leg is broken. Threatening him Bozzam reveals his real identity as Watt Hyat the man who killed his brother. In the struggle that follows, Bozzam is killed and Riddle wins the love of Kathleen. Cast
