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.

While Ann is being abducted by Meyer, Bobbie is buried in an explosion at the mine. Bruce rescues Bobbie and then sends a plea to Lieutenant Parrish to rescue Ann. Meyer and his gang are captured and Ann renews her vow of love to Bruce.
