The Fighting Stranger

1921 · 50 min

A lean, dusty silent western that moves quickly through robberies and double-crosses with little fuss.

After being released from prison, "Australia Joe" attempts a bank robbery and escapes. Out west, his gang robs the town-hall and steals papers for some mysterious person "higher up." Joe learns the identity of this man and prevents his marriage to the daughter of a man he has framed.
