The High Hand Synopsis

An impoverished cattleman - handed by rustlers and other unknown enemies - has finally had his home burned over his head. A lone cowboy happening on scene learns of the continued outrages - and taking it on himself to round up the hostile foe, commit apparent depredations, but always sends the monies to the sheriff - with the information that these monies would be duly accounted for at a later date. So daring do the Collector's deeds become that those he is searching out offer a reward for his capture. Many stirring raids and battles follow - and then to the surprise of any, even the sheriff - some of the town's leading (but not the best citizens) are caught in the net; due reparation made and to the outraged cattleman and the "Collector" proves to be the lone cowboy, who later marries the rancher's daughter.
