The Lariat Kid (1929)

Deputy Sheriff Tom Richards ( Hoot Gibson ) rides into Hell's Gulch to bring order to that rowdy town and to avenge the murder of his father, who had been sheriff there.

Tom arrests not only Gregg but also the rest of his gang, proving Gregg to have been his father's murderer. Tom and Mary Lou are married by the judge.
