About Play Straight or Fight
Helen is a strong-minded, upright, two-handed gunwoman and the protector of a younger brother who has fallen under the evil influence of unscrupulous companions. The climax of the story comes when Helen learns that her brother is to take part in a stage hold-up. To save him she dons male attire and holds up the stage at a point several miles in advance of her brother's attempt.
Directed by Paul Hurst, Play Straight or Fight leans on a strong ensemble — Helen Gibson, Hoot Gibson, Millard K. Wilson — 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 1918.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
