- "Peace River" Parker is returning to his home range after serving time for a crime he did not commit. Riding a freight-car he meets a tramp named Hanna, whom he tells he is going home to his girl and his dog, the girl having promised to wait for him. Hanna tells him "Dogs remember, women do not." The rest of the journey, to Chinook, is made by stagecoach, where Parker takes the reins after replacing the drunken stagecoach driver. Hayes, a passenger, sits bedside Parker in the guard's seat, and relates some gossip that Jessie Marshall, Parker's girlfriend, has gotten engaged. The disenchanted Parker takes a job as a lowly sheepherder but balks when he learns he is to drive some sheep into the Chinook area. Chinook has always been cattle country. Parker decides to investigate.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- Peace River Parker, foreman of the Cross L Ranch and engaged to Jess, the daughter of the owner, is railroaded into a prison term by the false witness of Jefferson Crane, who covets the ranch and Jess. Through the complicity of Clell Danert, a villainous foreman who also desires Jess, Crane arranges to ruin the Marshall ranch by driving a herd of sheep onto the cattle range. Peace, released on good behavior, learns of the plot from Danert, who takes him for a hobo and hires him to herd the sheep. Peace informs Jess, who rides to protect her father's ranch but is captured by Crane's men; Crane proposes marriage; but Jess gains the upper hand and forces him to confess to the crime for which Peace was convicted. Jess and the Marshall ranchmen arrive in time to save Peace from a lynching and clear his name.—AFI Catalog
