The Night Hawk (1924)

Pursued for robbery by New York City police, a crook known as "Night Hawk" befriends José Valdez, a Mexican American who has come to town to hire an assassin to kill the sheriff of a western town. Hawk takes the job, and Valdez helps him escape the city. However, when he arrives in the West, he falls in love with the sheriff's daughter, Clia Milton, and is unable to complete his mission. He joins Sheriff Milton's posse when José Valdez's father, a cattle rustler, illegally makes himself sheriff; single-handedly, Night Hawk rescues the girl from José's brigands.
