Plot

edit

As described in a film magazine review,[2] David Scanlona is a former bandit who has forsaken that life and settled down on a quiet little ranch with his brother Paul. With David's blessing, his brother leaves to seek his fortune in the world but loses his life when he is killed by a villainous dance hall proprietor. David, using the name Texas Brady, joins a bandit gang in order to find a man who murdered his young brother. Aided by Doctor Shirley Chalmette, whom David meets during a stagecoach hold-up, he learns that Goring is the man guilty of the murder. There is a terrific battle between David and Goring at the climax of the film in which the murderer is killed and David is blinded. David is then nursed back to health by Shirley and he recovers his sight. He happily weds his "doctoress."
