Dead Shot Baker Synopsis

Intent upon ridding his town of crime, Dead Shot Baker, the beloved sheriff of Wolfville, drives a band of outlaws to the outskirts, where they hold up the stagecoach and carry two girls away to the hills. Baker and his posse overtake the bandits and rescue the girls, one of whom is the beautiful and willful Evelyn Baldwin, the daughter of a once wealthy miner who is now a penniless drunkard. Old Baldwin is killed in the battle and Evelyn, although penniless, refuses to work. Baker comes to her rescue and marries the girl, who then snubs him for the new postmaster. Feeling inferior to his wife, Baker invites death so that she may be free to marry the postmaster. Heading a posse against a band of notorious rustlers, Baker falls to his apparent death from a cliff. When news of her husband's death reaches Evelyn, she heads a posse back into the hills, routs the outlaws, finds her husband and nurses him back to health, thus winning the respect of the townspeople.
