Stealing Horses and Trains
Joe Hamman thinks he's been cheated at dice. To gain his revenge, he let's loose his employer's horses and, with the sheriff's men in hot pursuit, steals a train. When a reward for his capture, dead or alive, is posted, he is trailed into the desert.
Jean Durand's unit at Gaumont did a lot of short comedies, but they also turned out westerns, and this is an exciting one, with Hamman clambering around a train in motion and breaking into cars. Some of it is shot in too extreme close-up to be very effective, but there is some good long-range photography and the print I saw was nicely tinted, lending a great deal of charm to the movie.
