Plot

"Angel City is a misnomer. A gang of outlaws is largely in control and when Isabelle Bruner's father is mysteriously killed the sheriff decides to get busy. Frank Bartlett, an idler who could afford to be idle, appeared in town and took Isabelle to the country ball. In search of a new thrill, he decides to aid the sheriff, and the first thing he does is to scare away the would-be robbers of the stagecoach. This is only the beginning of a dramatic career which ends in his bringing home the honors, and winning the girl." --Moving Picture World [1]
