He sells it to Mat Henley, the Ranger horse dealer and general renegade. Mat pays him in counterfeit money. Just as Reno is walking away after making the sale a pretty girl comes up the street and asks him the way to the "Bar U" ranch. He tells her a couple of miles up the road and decides to stay in town. When he tries to buy back his horse, Mat won't sell and advises him to buy a flivver that happens to be for sale. Reno does and pays the owner with the money given him by Mat for the horse. He goes after the girl, but finds that Mat has arrived ahead of him. He persuades the girl to ride in his car, however, and takes her up to the ranch, almost. The flivver stalls just before they arrive and Mat finishes the trip with his horse. Reno finally arrives and while he is talking to the girl the sheriff puts in an appearance and arrests him for passing bad money. Reno goes with him for a short distance and then makes a getaway. Mat continues his friendship with Mary and one day tries to kiss her. This action she resents and runs away. Mat goes to his cabin in the hills, where he makes his counterfeit money, and is there found by the sheriff, who is looking for Reno. A fight ensues and just as things look pretty bad for the sheriff, Reno enters and saves the day. Mary, in the meantime, has become lost and falls into a bed of quicksand. Reno hears her call for help and rushes to rescue her. He pulls her to safety and into his arms, while the sheriff takes Mat to jail. Written by Universal Weekly, November 10, 1923 See less
