Tom Mix western short.

Amiable enough WW1 era two reeler, with Mix sparking Forde, daughter of rancher Ryan who takes a dim view. The couple plan to run off together but this gets mixed in with robbers getting dad's bank withdrawal.

Dad & Tom take up pursuit "Them galoots have got your money and my girl." The chase has Tom do an awkward transfer between the Buckboards, with him bringing the galoots to a halt at gun point and getting the girl.

OK western imagery. Simple technique, mainly walk in walk out coverage The lead couple emerge engagingly within the unsophisticated limitations of film making of the day.

Surviving copy just about gets by.
