Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] while Sheriff Bob Smith is away from town going after the bandit Bob Moore, the villain has a new sheriff elected in his place. Captured, tried, and convicted, Moore confesses that he is also known as "Bob Smith" and that his sister, whom he has not seen in childhood, is coming to town. Moore proposes that Smith pose as him so that his long-lost sister will not know that her brother is actually an outlaw. Smith agrees, and upon meeting her falls in love with her. He rounds up the villain's gang, gets his sheriff's job back, and wins the young woman after saving her real brother.
