The Ridin' Rascal is a 1926 American silent Western film directed by Clifford Smith based upon the novel Mavericks by William MacLeod Raine.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Larrabie Keller comes into cow country as a homesteader and is immediately attacked by the cattlemen who accuse him of being a rustler.

Later Phyllis finds Keller beside a branding fire which he is investigating and believes him guilty of rustling.

Phil and Healy follow them to Yeager’s, but are mislead by Phyllis, who finds a strange attraction in the suspected rustler.

The real rustlers try to place all the blame on Keller, but Phyllis frees him from the jail by a ruse.
