A Knight of the West (1921)

Zip loves Dora, daughter of a neighboring ranch owner, but is very bashful. The ranch foreman also covets her and while a rustler himself, seeks to throw suspicion upon Zip, but his plans miscarry. The arrival of his sister's little daughter precipitates Zip's love affair, but he still lacks courage. The girl's father, to help him, suggests that he use cave man stuff at a dance, but the villain beats him to it. Zip pursues the fleeing rustler and saves the girl, while the rustler gets his deserts and all ends happily.
