When a trio of bandits discovers a young woman (Olive Borden) whose father was murdered by a ruthless gang, the "Three Bad Men" go from being partners in crime to comrades in chivalry. Willing to put their own lives on the line to protect her from a sinister sheriff (Lou Tellegen) and his deranged posse, the men prove that character isn't always determined by which side of the law a man sits on. (official distributor synopsis)

I actually thought this was going to be one of John Ford's first films, but as it turns out, he’d made a lot more. But it's definitely one of the few silent westerns I've seen so far. And it has to be said that it works, although more as a film about colonization. There's a western feel to it, but it's not as action-packed as one would think or as appropriate for the plot.
