The Highbinders is a 1915 American short crime film directed by Tod Browning.

[1] As recorded in a film magazine,[2] Maggie, the daughter of Pat Gallagher, a brutal saloon keeper, to escape from being forced into a marriage with a bully and protégé of her father, takes refuge in a shop in Chinatown that is just around the corner from her father's resort.

The Chinese merchant Hop Woo, who has given her shelter, at last persuades her to marry him, resulting in a repugnant life for her.

Ah Woo's brother, overhearing his father bartering with the highbinder, who is a member of the powerful Hip-y-tong society, runs for help to Jack Donovan, who keeps a gambling hall on the border of Chinatown.

Donovan sells the gambling hall and buys a ranch, where he takes his bride Ah Woo and her brother.
