Desert Rider

Kincade shoots Baird and takes the map to his gold mine. Sutherland finds the dying Baird who tells him the mine's location. Kincade, having lost the map, now goes after the gold Sutherland has taken out of the mine.

Directed by Robert N. Bradbury, Desert Rider leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Hoxie, Evelyn Nelson, Frank Rice — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1923.
