The Fighting Ranger is a 1925 American silent Western film serial directed by Jay Marchant and starring Jack Dougherty.

[1] As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] fifteen years earlier, John Marshall (Welsh), a prosperous cattle raiser, shot a man.

The only man he trusts in the outside world is Topaz Taggart (Osborne), a political boss and all-round tricky citizen, who is really trying to get Marshall's ranch as he knows that buried on it is a fabulous treasure that is guarded by an aged Yaqui, the last of his tribe.

Bud Hughes (Wilson), one time an aviator but now a tramp, has attached himself to Marshall's hiding place which also includes Miguel Cordero (Avery), a faithful Mexican workman.

One day Terrence O'Rourke (Dougherty), a forest ranger with a double mission, drops into the hiding place because, due to a wound, he lost control of his airplane.
