Rustler's Ranch

• 1926

• Watchlist

Universal cowboy star Art Acord mistakenly believes he killed a man in a bar-room brawl and goes undercover at a ranch belonging to a widow (Edith Yorke) and her pretty young daughter (Olive Hasbrouck). The ranch is suddenly besieged by cutthroats, and Acord is forced to duke it out once again, clearing his name in the process. According to Hollywood lore, Acord was just as ready with his fists off screen as on and was fired by Universal czar Carl Laemmle a couple of times for brawling in public, usually with fellow western star Hoot Gibson.
