The Lone Hand is a 1922 American silent Western film directed by B. Reeves Eason and featuring Hoot Gibson.
As described in a film magazine,[2] hard punching Wyoming cowpuncher Laramie Lad (Gibson) decides to take a well-earned vacation and visit an old friend who runs a summer camp for city folks.
He runs into a shooting affair and learns that a young woman named Jane (Daw) and her aged father Al Sheridan (Welsh) are in distress, victims of a swindler's ruse to defraud them of their mining property.
Al escapes after several hours of torture and, thinking that the mine is his only haven of safety, he makes it to the bottom of the shaft before he lapses into unconsciousness.
The crooks are brought to justice, Laramie puts the mine on a paying basis, and winds things up in a satisfactory manner when he wins Jane and his first vacation turns into a honeymoon.
