Bucking the Truth Synopsis
"Slim" Duane, a wandering cowboy, having being forced to exchange clothes with an escaped fugitive, draws suspicion upon himself for the murder of Sheriff Findlay. He escapes the posse, discovers a gang of rustlers hiding in the hills and they make him a captive. Meanwhile, another innocent man has been blamed for the killing and is about to be hanged. Slim's friend, "Course-Gold" Charlie and his girlfriend, Anne, ride to his rescue.
The Sagebrusher Synopsis
When Wid Gardner, a friend of the "Sagebrusher" Sim Gage in Montana, advertises for a wife for Sim, he finds Mary Warren. Mary, who has recently lost her shop job in Cleveland, goes West under the impression that she is to be a housekeeper. By the time she arrives, she has become blind and cannot see the ugliness of the poor but honest Sim, who realizes that Mary is too refined for him. After some complications involving Frederick Waldhorn, who recognizes Mary as the girl whose legacy he has stolen, and Big Aleck, Mary and Sim are married. The young, handsome Dr. Barnes, who is working to restore Mary's sight, has also fallen in love with her. Eventually, Sim gives his life in rescuing Mary from a flood. Mary's sight then is restored and she confesses her love for Dr. Barnes. Finally, Mary's friend, Annie Squires, who accompanied her from Cleveland, becomes engaged to Wid.
"Bucking the Truth" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Sagebrusher" offers its own unique cult appeal.
