The Girl Who Dared

• Watchlist

When Barbara Hampton, a rancher's daughter, is elected sheriff of a small Western town, she earns the enmity of her father's foreman, Joe Knowles, who is in league with a band of rustlers headed by the outlaw Ramez. Plotting against Barbara, Knowles discharges all the honest ranch hands and replaces them with Ramez' men. Then he frames Hampton for cattle rustling, thus forcing Barbara to jail her own father. In the meantime, Knowles and Ramez drive off hundreds of cattle in the direction of the Mexican border. Setting out to prove her father's innocence, Barbara trails the rustlers to their lair, captures them and brings them to justice, thus clearing her father's name. Her task accomplished, Barbara settles down with Bob Purdy, the son of a neighboring rancher.
