It is a remake of the 1920 silent film The Round-Up, and is noteworthy for casting Wilson (best known as Jack Benny's announcer) in a rare dramatic role as the tubby sheriff originally played by Roscoe Arbuckle.

Plot

At Janet Allen's wedding to Steve Payson, owner of the Sweetwater Cattle Ranch, her former fiancée Greg Lane, whom she thought dead, turns up. Greg disregards the fact she is now a married woman and tries to make love to her behind her husband's back.

Soon, on the Sweetwater ranch, against a background of Indian uprisings, rustlers, gun-running and bandits, the young bride is torn between loyalty to her husband and a burning love for her returned sweetheart.
