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.
The Night Riders Synopsis
In Alberta, Canada, a Cornish emigrant unmasks a rustler posing as the girl's "blind" father.
"Shootin' Irons" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Night Riders" offers its own unique cult appeal.
