Texas Guinan is the Wildcat and all the men in town are scared of her. The lone exception is a newly arrived artist, played by Pat Hartigan. When she finds him painting a portrait of her, she is mildly impressed. They are promptly robbed by a masked desperado, who steals her mother's ring. When later in town, she finds the ring in the dirt, the artist is jailed for stealing it. Miss Guinan says she doesn't think he did it.
Most of the Texas Guinan shorts a mediocre stories, enlivened by the idea of the action heroine, presenting her as good as a man, but a real woman, too. This one has a poor story, as indicated above. The titles are stilted and formal -- that may be because they have been translated from Dutch; the copy I saw was derived from the Eye Institute's print.
The camerawork was very good, however, with some nice framing and good stunt photography. Hartigan looks a lot like Harold Lloyd in this one, probably to indicate this is a comedy.
