Director
Lynn F. Reynolds
Cast
Tom Mix, Eva Novak, Bert Sprotte, James Gordon, Sid Jordan

Tom Mix is mistaken for an effete easterner when he arrives in a western town in search of the man who killed his father. Then they see him ride. King of the Cowboys and his trusted steed, Tony the Wonder Horse, are joined by an equally hard-riding Eva Novak to mete out some sorely needed lessons in civility while a twisty plot about the actual parentage of Mix’s character unwinds.
