[edit] Plot

The story takes place in old Mexico, where a masked rider (Talmadge) and an impoverished girl (Bedford) fall in love, against her father's wishes. When she leaves with him, her father sends his gang in a chase after the two lovers.

[edit] Background/Production

Production was bumpy, as the Technicolor crew that the film was shot in had a number of difficulties. Originally intended to be an all-sound film, the picture was shot silent and went out with a sound and effects track due to technical issues with the sound synchronization equipment.

[edit] Preservation

Both picture and sound elements for the film are considered lost.
