Wanderer of the Wasteland is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by Irvin Willat and starring Jack Holt, Noah Beery, and Billie Dove.
When Adam Larey (Jack Holt) confronts his younger brother Guerd (James Mason) about his gambling addiction, the latter is accidentally shot.
He later learns that Guerd was merely wounded and returns to the loving arms of beautiful Ruth Virey (Billie Dove).
Location shooting for the film included setting up "tent cities" in remote parts of Arizona, Nevada and California, and the production crew worked without being able to watch dailies.
His former wife, Billie Dove, starred in the picture, and he had never really come to terms with their separation after she left him for Howard Hughes.
