Cotton and Cattle Synopsis

Because Buck Garrett threatens to foreclose the mortgage on her father's cotton plantation, Ethel Carson enlists the aid of her sweetheart, rancher Jack Harding, and his cowboys in quickly picking the crop for market. Garrett gets an idea from a newspaper, and the next day Carson receives a note from "the night rider" warning him to cease harvesting. Carson stubbornly refuses, and his harassment begins: the black pickers are frightened away by hooded men, their huts are burned, Carson is kidnapped. Donning the cloak of a felled "night rider," Jack finds Carson, subdues the band's leader, and unmasks Garrett.
