Hook and Ladder is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by Edward Sedgwick and featuring Hoot Gibson.

The stockyards affair is settled and Ace is offered a job by the department and decides to join when he sees the captain's good looking daughter.

He falls in love with the daughter, but meets with tough opposition in the person of Gus Henshaw, a young ward healer and protégé of Big Tim O'Rourke, the city's political boss.

He lures Sally to the O'Rourke home with a false letter and locks them in a room together and then telephones Ace at the fire station.

The big climax of the story is reached in the burning of the O'Rourke mansion—one of the most spectacular fire scenes ever filmed and the cowboy proves that the training which brought him such sore muscles and the other firemen so many laughs was far from wasted.
