In the silent film era, attorney Leo Harrigan and gunslinger Buck Greenway are hired to stop an illegal film production.

Leo learns he has a talent for directing, and Buck's cowboy persona quickly earns him leading-man status — but both men fall for beautiful starlet Kathleen Cooke, leading to a heated personal rivalry.
