Joe Hamman thinks he's been cheated at dice. To gain his revenge, he let's loose his employer's horses and, with the sheriff's men in hot pursuit, steals a train. When a reward for his capture, dead or alive, is posted, he is trailed into the desert.Jean Durand's unit at Gaumont did a lot of short comedies, but they also turned out westerns, and this is an exciting one, with Hamman clambering around a train in motion and breaking into cars. Some of it is shot in too extreme close-up to be very effective, but there is some good long-range photography and the print I saw was nicely tinted, lending a great deal of charm to the movie.
