Hazel Applegate

Deux rivaux sont amoureux d'une ballerine. L'un d'eux est un criminel endurci. La première partie du film se déroule dans un bar et se termine par une bagarre entre les deux adversaires. L'histoire s'achève, dans la seconde partie, par une scène dramatique d'homicide et de vol.

The highwayman, watching through the window of the ramshackle express office, sees the messenger pass a large sum of money under the charge of the agent. A few minute later the messenger, an old man, is held up and robbed by the highwayman. His pursuing shots attract the attention of the sheriff and he starts in pursuit. The highwayman is wounded and drags himself to the barn of a rancher. The rancher saves him from his pursuers and earns his gratitude. A few days later the rancher learns that the police are on his trail for a crime he had committed years before.
