The Sawdust Trail is a 1924 American silent Western film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures and starring Hoot Gibson.

His wealthy father Jonathan Butts (Torrence) wanted to put him to work in his factory, but Clarence, who hated the prospect, evaded it by pretending to be weak and delicate.

Finally a doctor's examination discovered his perfect health, at the same time that an outraged prohibition officer was looking for him to pay a reward for a blackened eye received in a café fight the night before.

The leading woman of the show was "Calamity June" (Sedgwick), so called because she was a man-hater, carried a pair of wicked guns, and used them and her temper when any man spoke to her.

"Calamity June" stood for this with a steely eye, but she made a "sap" out of Clarence by having him ride a bronco that threw him.

"Calamity June," up against a real, reckless speed demon, whimpered and begged for mercy, and then suddenly made an "S" turn in the road at sixty-five m.p.h.
