Having watched the trailer online, l have formed a theory as to what the plot of this 1923 serial was like. In one scene, Jack Mower's character is shown carrying an injured Daniel Boone away on foot; l surmise from this that either Daniel or his daughter Miranda - the serial's leading lady - asks him to impersonate Daniel and lead a wagon train through some rough country. During a stopover, the husband of Ruth Royce's character is killed, and Jack is accused of the crime (a surviving still shows her putting the tip of her index finger on Jack's admittedly impressive chest). He now must lead the wagon train to its destination and clear his name as well. From what l read and saw in the trailer, this was an impressive Pathé effort and possibly one of their very best silent serials.
