The Desert Demon is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Jay Wilsey, Betty Morrissey, and Harry Todd.

Lost in the desert, Bill's horse dies of thirst.

Nita Randall, whose father runs a nearby mine, arrives just in time to prevent Bill from suffering a similar fate.

One of the conspirators is shot by Randall, who dies from an injury but believes that he has killed his enemy.

Bill takes the blame, but Nita, concerned by the loss of her father, is temporarily influenced against him.
