Shootin' Irons Synopsis

Pan Smith, a young Montana rancher, rescues Jim Blake and his daughter Lucy from a stampede of wild horses and invites the squatters to be his guests. Pan falls in love with Lucy, but rivalry develops soon between him and Dick Hardman, his foreman. At a barn dance, Pan learns from Lucy that her father is being hunted for a bank theft, though she knows him to be innocent; to stall the sheriff, Pan holds up the stage and while hiding the dispatch box, containing incriminating papers, is observed by Dick. Dick informs the sheriff and organizes a posse just as word reaches the judge that Blake is innocent. Dick then proceeds to overtake the posse, his arrival terminates the battle, and Pan is united with Lucy.
