Margery Wilson was a favourite of legendary silent Western actor and filmmaker William Surrey Hart. Here she plays Myrtle, a kind and decent woman whose love turns notorious outlaw Draw Egan from a threat to society into a protector of all good folks – till his old compañero Arizona Joe shows up and puts this newfound life into jeopardy… A mighty fine oater, presented with live accompaniment by the one and only Maud Nelissen. Yeehaw!
