Durand of the Bad Lands

While out on a plundering expedition, outlaw Dick Durand comes upon a band of Indians attacking a group of settlers. Dick opens fire on the Indians, but before he forces them to flee, they kill everyone except three children and Durand himself. Durand places the children in the care of Molly Gore, who does not suspect that the kindly horseman is actually the outlaw being blamed for the massacre. Although he knows that the sheriff is in close pursuit, Dick stops to rescue a girl who has been kidnapped by the Indians. After he returns her to her father, the sheriff takes Durand prisoner. However, unknown to Durand, the girl he has saved is the governor's daughter, and the executive, urged on by Molly, intercedes and pardons the outlaw, who then settles down to a peaceful life with Molly.
