The Saddle Hawk

The Saddle Hawk is a lost[1][2] 1925 American silent Western film directed by Edward Sedgwick and starring Hoot Gibson.

[3][4] As described in a film magazine,[5] Ben Johnson (Gibson), a despised sheepherder, works for an old Mexican, but is unhappy because he loves cattle and wants to be a cowboy.

Riding to town one day, he sees a Rena (Nixon) and asks for a drink which she refuses to give him because she is a cattleman’s daughter with cattle owners’ prejudices.

When Ben returns, his boss gives him a beautiful golden mare, hat, and other necessities to bedeck him for real riding.

Ben joins up with Buck Brent (Campeau), a bad man who hates the young woman’s father, Jim Newhall (French), because he had once sent him to jail.
