Veteran actor-director-writer J.P. McGowan helmed this cheaply made silent comedy-western for Jesse J. Goldburg's Independent Pictures Co. Minor western star Franklyn Farnum plays a cowpoke who saves his weak brother (Jack Vernon) from various romantic entanglements on the Mexican border. In keeping with the spirit of the film, well-known supporting player Charles "Slim" Whitaker was billed as "Slender" Whitaker for the occasion.
