Plot: Commenting on this movie is difficult. Originally made in 1920 as a two-reeler, it was recut as a single reel about 1930 to take advantage of Texas Guinan's notoriety as "Queen of the Bootleggers" and released with one of those soundtrack that made fun of the goings-on. In addition, many of the copies were mislabeled as A MOONSHINE FEUD; the IMDb credits and other commenter's remarks reflect that error.As it exists, it appears that Miss Guinan is once again a White girl raised by and thinking she is an Indian. An elderly lady appears with the hero's mother (who is clearly aghast at the red-skinned girl loved by her son). She tells of how her husband was killed and her baby stolen when she was absent. The implication is that the second woman will turn out to be Texas' mother, and the love affair approved. In the meantime, there are fights on horseback, a struggle between a bad guy and Texas, and gold hidden beneath the floorboards of a shack.Some of these portions are clearly out of sequence and the action is sped up to make it ridiculous. Little can be made of the worth of the film as originally released. However, Miss Guinan registers anger quite well while the woman is talking about "the squaw".
