The Fighting Buckaroo Synopsis
Larry Crawford, who hopes to purchase a ranch on which gold is discovered just before the option expires, hurries to Los Angeles with two pals, pursued by an unscrupulous promoter who enlists the aid of a gang of thugs. In a traffic accident, Larry meets Betty Gregory, with whom he becomes infatuated, but whose father, Judge Gregory, he contrives constantly to offend. His attempts to meet the girl and the villain's efforts to outwit him and steal the girl's necklace afford a rapid succession of comic situations, including a chase after a speeding train on a motorcycle, the kidnapping of the girl, Larry's encounter with the thugs, and, in the end, his winning of the girl.
Love Letters Synopsis
Eileen Rodney believes herself in love with Raymond Moreland, who poses as the leader of an oriental cult, but discovers his duplicity in time to avoid the serious consequences of an elopement. She marries her guardian, John Harland, and is happy until Moreland returns and seeks to reopen the affair under threat of exposure. Moreland is killed, and her husband, as District Attorney, takes charge of the case. Her efforts to recover the love letters she wrote Moreland are nearly her undoing, precipitating an unusually thrilling chain of action.
"The Fighting Buckaroo" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Love Letters" offers its own unique cult appeal.
