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 The law establishing the game preserve is repealed, and Shasta confesses her love for Jack.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 Red-Haired Cupid Synopsis
Unhappy with William "Red" Saunders, the foreman of the Chanta Seechee Ranch in Oklahoma, its Eastern owners send a Boston tenderfoot named Albert Jones to manage the ranch with "Eastern business methods." Red prevents the angry cowboys from quitting, but they insist on making Jones the butt of their jokes and tricks. Upon learning that Jones's niece, Loys Andres, is planning a visit, the boys plan a rowdy reception for the woman, whom they expect will be an old maid. Loys's beauty, however, surprises them all, and Red's bunk-mate, Kyle Lambert, falls in love with her, and he soon proposes. When Jones tries to break up the romance, Red arranges for an elopement, but as the lovers reach the ford, a rustler called "Squint-Eye" Lucas fires at them, slightly wounding Kyle. Loys returns to the ranch for help, Red shoots Lucas, and Kyle is rescued, after which Loys and Kyle marry. Beaten, Jones gives the couple his blessing.
"Sky High Corral" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Red-Haired Cupid" offers its own unique cult appeal.
