- Northwest Mounted Police story. Among the twists introduced in the theme are the kidnapping of a white girl by gypsies, the attempt of the villain to rob a widow of oil land, horse stealing, the jealousy of a gypsy woman because her husband displays affection for the blonde lass, and the burning of an oil derrick to name a few.—The Film Daily, September 17, 1922
- Jack Martin, of the Mounted, detailed to prevent horse-stealing by the gypsies, sees Natco Rigo, the gypsy chief, with a companion and horse. He shoots, hits the companion, and then goes after the chief. After a fight Martin captures Rigo. He takes him to the gypsy camp and discovers the companion, who is unconscious, to be a girl. In the town of Muskatoon Lew Hawkes is the ruling power. He sees a telegram for Martin from his inspector which reads: "Stolen daughter of Senator Gorman believed to be in possession of gypsies in your district. Keep close lookout. Am coming with girl's father." Martin arrives with his prisoner and the wounded girl. He asks Widow Brown to take care of the girl, while he puts his prisoner in jail. Rigo's wife, who has followed them, hates the girl because Rigo loves her. Hawkes tells her that if she helps him to marry the girl, he will get her husband out of jail and give her money. She (the gypsy) goes to Widow Brown's house, and through a ruse gets her out of the house. She tells the girl that unless she marries Hawkes she will kill her. Martin comes after recapturing Rigo, who has escaped, and is told the girl is Hawkes' wife, and that the horse which Rigo was stealing belonged to Hawkes and that he will not press the charge. The gypsy woman refuses to allow Hawkes to have the girl until she gets the money he promised her. Meanwhile Martin sets Rigo free, and tells him that Hawkes married the girl. Hawkes tells his men to destroy the oil derrick belonging to Widow Brown, because she will not sell her land. Rigo knocks Hawkes down. The girl runs, pursued by Rigo and Hawkes. They climb the derrick. Hawkes, knowing that the well will be blown up, does not go up. Rigo falls from the derrick on Hawkes and the shock kills both. Martin climbs the derrick and rescues the girl.—Universal Weekly, September 9, 1922
