A lost 1922 Western where cowboys vs sheepherders gets weirdly romantic and nobody's seen it in a century.
Cowhand John Marvin, in a cattlemen-vs-sheep-men range war, comes to the aid of a pretty and defenseless young sheepherder, Kate Bowers. This angers the other cattlemen, especially Palque Powell, who employs deceptive methods against Kate, while pretending to help her.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a 'partially lost film' — most of it has vanished, with only fragments surviving in archives.
The cattlemen-vs-sheepmen conflict was a real Western phenomenon, as sheep grazing destroyed cattle range.
