Ridin' Wild (1922)

Trained by his Quaker mother to be gentle, Cyril Henderson receives only laughter from the townspeople when he tries to act tough to impress Grace Nolan, who is allowing Art Jordan, the town bully, to occupy her time so as to pique Cyril. The murder of Andrew McBride, who holds the mortgage on the Henderson's property, is blamed on the elder Henderson, and Cyril unsuccessfully tries to take the blame. Finally stirred to real action, Cyril kidnaps Grace, releases her, fights with Jordan when the latter captures the girl, and forces a confession to McBride's murder from the villain. Cyril and Grace find bliss, and justice gets a firm grip on Jordan.
