Hurricane Hal (1925)

Hurricane Hal (1925) follows the thrilling adventures of a daring young Texan, nicknamed "Hurricane Hal," who rescues Bill Adams from a perilous encounter with Mexican bandits. In return for his bravery, Adams offers Hal a position at his ranch, where Hal's presence quickly ruffles feathers, particularly with the foreman, Lacey. Meanwhile, Hal finds himself smitten with Virginia McFarland, the daughter of Adams' business partner. When McFarland and Adams plan to transport a substantial sum of money, Lacey, who has been secretly rustling cattle, orchestrates a scheme to ambush the group. Hal, following Adams' instructions, trails behind and witnesses the robbery. He pursues the thieves to a secluded cabin, where he rescues McFarland and Virginia, but they are soon separated during their escape. Lacey, determined to capture Virginia and the money, steals a train engine to make his getaway. Hal, undeterred, takes a shortcut to intercept the train and engages in a fierce battle with Lacey. In a dramatic climax, Hal and Virginia leap from the train just before it plunges off a burning bridge. The next morning, McFarland returns to the ranch alone, but Hal and Virginia soon follow, revealing they had successfully delivered the money the previous night. Adams and McFarland leave the couple to embrace, marking a happy ending to their tumultuous journey.
