Fighting Bill Fargo

When Bill Fargo (Johnny Mack Brown) and his friend "Scoop" (Fuzzy Knight)and sister, Julie Fargo (Nell O'Day)set out to establish the "Buffalo Springs Independent" as a responsible frontier newspaper, they are opposed by J.R."Cash" Scanlon (James Blaine), the crooked head of the Buffalo Springs Homestead & Development Company. But, with the backing of Judge Tyler (Joseph Eggerton, his daughter Linda (Jean Brooks) and the honest townspeople, the paper supports Tom Houston (Al Bridge)as an opposition to the crooked incumbent, Hackett (Kenneth Harlan), a crony of Scanlon. The latter has his henchman, Vic Savage (Ted Adams) kill Houston and then they pin the murder on Bill.
