Jerry Connors, tired of the flattery that goes with success as a champion fighter, jumps a train to the West, gets left at a wayside station, is robbed by tramps, and disguised as one of them asks for food at a neighboring ranch. He soon finds that the girl and her mother are in trouble over the mortgage and the villain is seeking to force the girl to marry him. He decides to stick, and after the many vicissitudes outlined above, succeeds in getting the best of the villain and winning back the valuable oil property.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
