The Lone Hand

Wyoming cattleman Laramie Lad takes a vacation by visiting an old friend who runs a summer resort, but before he can relax, he meets Jane Sheridan and her father, Al Sheridan, who are fighting off a group of swindlers who want the old man's mining property.

Directed by B. Reeves Eason, The Lone Hand leans on a strong ensemble — Hoot Gibson, Marjorie Daw, Helen Holmes — 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 1922.
