...westerns have had, it has the proper ingredients-the chase on horseback, pearl-handled revolvers, the kidnaped girl, the cattle-stealer. It lacks continuity but is worth the while of anyone who regrets that picture companies have turned from the original sources of their inspiration. Best part: Myrna Loy as the jealous wife of an amorous cowman...

Ted (Conrad Nagel) and May (May McAvoy) were married only a year when a brunette (Myrna Loy) crinkled her eyes at him, and he temporarily forgot all vows. The brunette borrowed his cigaret lighter, a present from his wife, and May discovers all. Alarmed, she telephones a mauve musician (Andre Beranger) and the two slip under the lap robes of the car in which the philandering pair are taking a speedy moonlight, midnight drive...
