McGuire of the Mounted

(Richard Stanton, 1923)

William Desmond plays Bob McGuire, an officer with the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, on the trail of a gang of opium smugglers. The suspected ringleader is gambling house owner Big Bill Lusk (Willard Louis), who drugs McGuire, weds him to a cohort, and then frames him for the murder of a superior officer.
