The Dangerous Dub (1926)

Buddy Martin, a cowpuncher, falls in love with Rose Cooper, whom he meets in a Chinese restaurant in Omaha, and frustrates a plot between Bill Cooper, her stepfather, and Scar-Face Hanan, a notorious criminal. At Rose's insistence, Buddy is given a job on their ranch. Buddy overhears Cooper conspiring with Scar-Face to rustle his own (Cooper's) herd until he can persuade Rose's mother to sell the ranch; when Buddy discovers the rustlers at work, Cooper accuses him of being a rustler and sends him off the ranch, and disguised with a beard, he finds refuge in a camp maintained by Scar-Face. When the sale of the ranch is imminent, Buddy circumvents the bandits, takes the money from Cooper, and notifies the sheriff. In a series of chases on horseback and by train, Buddy overcomes Scar-Face and then marries Rose.
