The Reformation of Dog Hole (1916)

The favorite sport at Dog Hole, the "toughest town west of the Sierras," is destroying the property of the railroad headed by Ace Brent. As sheriffs and detectives have failed to settle the problem, Brent assents to Barbara's pleas that she be given a trial. Barbara succeeds "Pretzel," the station agent at Dog Hole, and finds that Hawk, proprietor of the Red Copper saloon, is the evil influence of the town, and gambling the Red Copper's chief attraction. She sets up a counter game in her own shack and by clever manipulation of the cards wins all the cowpuncher's money. Hawk, finding his business ruined, schemes to ruin Barbara, but after an exciting series of events leading to stirring dramatic action, she outwits him. She then informs the punchers that their losses at cards have been applied to purchase stock in the railroad and it is now up to them "to protect their own property."
