A Roaring Adventure Synopsis
Duffy Burns returns from college in the East and discovers that his father's cattle are being systematically stolen by a band of unknown outlaws. Duffy resolves to catch the culprits, conceals his identity, and goes to work on his father's ranch. There he meets Gloria Carpenter, daughter of one of the outlaws, and falls in love with her. Gloria returns the affection, but she is puzzled by Duffy's constant attentions to the Widow Dodd. Duffy and a sheriff's posse round up the bandits, Gloria's father reforms, and Duffy wins Gloria's love when he explains that his friendship with the widow has been strictly in the interest of capturing the cattle rustlers.
The Law's Outlaw Synopsis
Charles Easton returns to his ranch to find his property in a shambles and his chances of marrying politician Oscar Davison's daughter Rose extremely slim, after losing the election for sheriff of Pyramid County to Ethan Ransford. However, Rose appears and begs him to find the man who robbed and beat her father. Charles rides into the desert with Ethan but quarrels with his rival and shoots him. With a price on his head, Charles takes refuge at Hawk's Nest, a seemingly invulnerable retreat for bandits, and soon gains the outlaws' respect and confidence. Later he rides into town leading the two guilty men in handcuffs and explains that Ethan's shooting was merely a ploy to gain entrance into the outlaws' stronghold. Ethan appears, confirming the story, and turns his office over to Charles, while Rose gladly accepts the new sheriff's proposal of marriage.
"A Roaring Adventure" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Law's Outlaw" offers its own unique cult appeal.
