Sandy Burke of the U-Bar-U (Silent)

Brave and good-natured cowboy Sandy Burke saves young Dolly after her father is killed in the saloon. He entrusts the girl to kindly Widow Mackey, who is having trouble paying her mortgage and decides he is responsible for the pair so he best start earning some money. Soon he is seeking work at the U-Bar-U ranch but who could predict the trouble he will have with the rancher's daughter, Molly, or the surly foreman, Jim Diggs! Music score by David Knudtson.

One of the few westerns to emanate from the Goldwyn studio, SANDY BURKE OF THE U-BAR-U starred Louis Bennison as the eponymous hero. Mistaken for a bandit, Sandy Burke (Bennison) is held at gunpoint by Molly (Virginia Lee), the sheriff's daughter. Molly hopes to collect a huge reward, and thereby pay off the mortgage on a widow's home. Inasmuch as he, too, is concerned with the widow's welfare, Sandy smilingly plays along with Molly, even allowing himself to be locked up in a makeshift jail from which he could otherwise easily escape. Later on, he plays his "role" to the hilt, robbing a mail coach and parlaying his ill-gotten gains into a tidy nest-egg for the widow -- then thoughtfully returning the cash that he's stolen. In the meantime, the real bandit kidnaps Molly, whereupon the fun-and-games cease and Sandy reveals himself as the hero that we always knew him to be.
