Buck Jones both produced and starred in this offbeat Western also featuring silent screen
icon Louise Brooks. Hoping to turn it into a profitable dude ranch, drifter Buck Devlin (Buck
Jones) purchases the Ranch of Empty Saddles, the former site of a bloody war between
cattle ranchers and sheep men. Buck cleans up the place with the help of peddler Swap
Boone (Harvey Clark) and his daughter Boots (Brooks), and the ranch is soon teeming with
Eastern tourists. As an added treat for the guests, the ranch hands stage a mock recreation
of the old feud, which turns deadly serious when someone responds with real bullets.
Future B-Western sidekick Frank Yaconelli, appearing unbilled, and a band of cowboys
perform 'Welcome to the Empty Saddle Ranch' and 'Orchid of the Prairie'.
