The Big Town Round-Up (1921)

Alice Beaumont, daughter of a San Francisco, California, capitalist, captures the attention of rancher Larry McBride by pretending to have been bitten by a rattlesnake in the Arizona mountains. On his way to visit Alice, Larry tosses gangster Jerry Casey off the train for accosting country girl Mildred Hart, and later comes to her defense in a San Francisco cabaret. There Larry meets Rodney Curtis, a youth who intends to marry Alice for her money. He and Jerry conspire to frame Larry on a murder charge, until Alice's father reveals Rodney as the killer. Alice and Larry decide to marry, as does his partner Pee Wee, who is betrothed to Mildred.
