Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Daniel Brown, a drifter, attempts to go to the aid of Stella, the wife of gambling den's owner Bull Dunn, finds himself framed with a murder charge when the wife shoots a gambler. Dan makes his escape with his donkey named Kentuck and boards a train where he is aided by a young woman who hides him in a Pullman stateroom. It turns out that the woman owns a ranch. Dan finds refuge with prospector Joshua Reynolds, who tells him that there is gold on the ranch property of the woman. Dan foils the scheme of the ranch foreman and Stella to rob the woman of her real property. The young woman then proves Dan innocent of the murder charge and marries him.
