Sky High Corral Synopsis
When the Government incorporates Bill Hayden's (Tom Lingham) ranch into a Federal game preserve, Jack McCabe (Art Acord), a forest ranger, is sent to serve an eviction notice on Hayden and his daughter, Shasta (Marguerite Clayton). Hayden resists the order, and Jack falls in love with Shasta. Whitey Durk (Duke R. Lee) steals Hayden's cattle and pins the blame on Jack. The burly ranger later rescues Hayden and Shasta from Duke's men and brings the bandits into court. The law establishing the game preserve is repealed, and Shasta confesses her love for Jack.
The Medicine Man Synopsis
Jim Walton, the sheriff of El Dorado, orders Joe Malone to stop working an abandoned mine that he has uncovered. Later, Malone recognizes Edith Strang, the dancing girl who is passing through town with the quack Doc Hamilton, as the rightful heir to the abandoned mine. Malone informs the doctor of the fabulous riches within their grasp, and the doctor departs for the East to interest capital in the property. While he is away, Malone tries to double-cross the doctor by marrying Edith, but Walton discovers his plan and offers the girl protection. Upon his return, the doctor reclaims Edith from the sheriff, and that night, sensing wrongdoing, Walton goes to the doctor's cabin. There he finds that Edith is being forced to sign away her rights to the mine. Walton forces Malone to confess that the mine belonged to Edith's dead parents, and thus restores the girl to her birthright. Edith then prepares to go to school in the East, but at the last minute decides to remain and marry the sheriff.
"Sky High Corral" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Medicine Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
