Rex’s pard, an old missionary, is under suspicion as the famous lone bandit. “The Locust,” and to free his friend, Rex promises to capture the terror of the hills either dead or alive. He shoots at “The Locust,” but misses. Then he follows his mysterious trail, night after night, on his mission of vengeance, and finally tracks “him” down, only to find it is the girl he loved. Lola Todd and Richard Carlyle appear opposite the star. Entertaining short subjects will be screened.
