The Man From Montana is a 1917 silent black and white film directed by George Marshall.
As described in a film magazine,[3] Warren Summers (Peil) and his wife (Lamb) along with their pretty relative Meta Cooper (Rich) go to the town of Green Water to purchase the Bumble Bee mine, which is owned by Duke Fairley (Hart) and Dad Petzel (Berrell).
Meanwhile, Dad and the boys work an abandoned mine called "The Worm" and strike it rich.
Duke arrives in time to rescue Meta from her crafty relatives, which are then turned over to the law.
