Racketeers of the Range

Helen Lewis (Marjorie Reynolds) has inherited her father's independent packing plant, and Roger Whitlock (Robert Fiske), her lawyer with a crooked agenda of his own, is trying to sell her out. Cattle rancher Barney o'Dell (George O'Brien) knows that without this remaining packing plant all of the local ranchers are sunk and won't be able to market their cattle. As the chief creditor, he takes over the plant and has all the cattlemen turn over their herds for shipment. Whitlock has his gang rustle the combined herd, but Barney and his cowhands catch up and recapture the herd, now piled into cattle trucks. The herd is no sooner loaded from the shipping pens onto the train than Whitlock's gang steals the train, and Barney gives pursuit. He catches up and throws the rustlers off the train, one by one, and rescues Helen, who is being held captive in the caboose by Whitlock.
