Desc: Out of the West: Directed by Robert De Lacey. With Tom Tyler, Bernice Welch, L.J. O'Connor, Ethan Laidlaw. John O'Connor and Jim Rollins, rival ranchmen, each has a baseball team, though Rollins' usually wins because O'Connor's foreman and pitcher, Bide Goodrich, is paid by Rollins to throw the game. When Tom Hanley and his grandmother settle on O'Connor's ranch, the boss discovers that he is a good pitcher; and Rollins, who has bet heavily on the Fourth of July game, plots to eliminate Tom. While riding with O'Connor's daughter, Bernice, Tom is roped and captured but overcomes his attacker; he makes friends with Frankie, the O'Connor mascot, and his pup, Sitting Bull. On the night of a dance Tom is kidnapped and taken to a cave, but through Frankie's vigilance he is freed and races to the game in time to win it with a home run. Goodrich kidnaps Bernice from the ranch, but Tom pursues and overcomes the kidnapper; later, he refuses an offer to play in big league and is happily united with Bernice.
