Trail's End (1922)

Despite Stanley's explanation that a fortune awaits Frayne, rancher Wilder Armstrong refuses to reveal his friend's whereabouts. Shortly thereafter, Edith Kilgallen, also an heir to the fortune, seeks Frayne; and Armstrong decides that he should find Frayne, who has disappeared. Stanley arrives first and tries to trap Edith, but Armstrong comes to the rescue. Explanations follow: Stanley's purpose was to frame Frayne for a crime, thus disqualifying him from the inheritance. "Frayne" is actually Frayne's half brother, who, accused of a crime, was sent from his uncle's home, then later killed Frayne in self-defense and assumed his identity. Edith and Wilder are united.
