Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Based on Bret Harte's 1925 serialized novel The Saint of Calamity Gulch, this silent Western starred Rex Bell as a lawman tracking a mysterious masked bandit. The "outlaw," however, proves to be lovely Jessie Smith (Lola Todd), a girl wronged. Jessie proves not to be bad at all and actually saves Joe Courtney (Bell) from villainous Dan Carson (Richard Carlyle). 9-year-old Billy Butts provided comedy relief in this Western, one of four Fox oaters starring Bell, a future lieutenant governor of Nevada and the husband of Clara Bow. ~ Hans J.
