00:47

The High Sierras—whose sheltering paradise of green, changes to an inferno of terror——when nature puts on her garments of red.

---

01:26

A half-breed wolf—combining the savage strength of the wild, with the intelligence of his dog ancestry.

… Rin-tin-tin.

---

01:41

So skillful and daring that the Rangers had given him the Spanish name for wolf—Lobo.

---

01:57

Lobo's mate, with the mother instinct of the wild, guarding her wolf puppies against the oncoming flames.

… Nanette.

---

02:51

Far below the timber line lay the great American Desert——here Lobo and his pack found refuge.

03:12

Lobo, in search of prey.

---

04:09

---

04:49

… 'Heinie' Conklin.

---

05:29

"Oh! D—a—a—ave!"

---

05:35

"Oh! D—a—a—ave!"

---

06:45

"Be very careful of the cake—I want to surprise Dave."

---

08:09

"I think it's borax—let's take it to town and have it tested."

---

08:36

The hunger call to the rest of the famished pack.

---

08:52

"That sounds like wolves!"

---

08:56

"It can't be wolves—there hain't been none in this desert for twenty years!"

---

09:13

"The fire in the mountains may have driven them down, is search of food."

---

10:40

Thehe Law of the pack—death to the wounded wolf.

---

11:03

"WOLVES!"

---

11:06

"WOLVES! WOLVES!"

---

11:13

WOLVES! WOLVES! WOLVES!
WOLVES! WOLVES! WOLVES!

---

11:17

"The desert is full of wolves—I saw thousands of them!"

---

11:24

"Forty-three of 'em jumped on my neck."

---

11:43

TAXIDERMIST

---

11:45

"Wolves!"

---

12:16

"Wolves!"

---

12:26

Sam Barstowe, May's father, who does not approve of the tenderfoot's attention to his daughter.

… William Walling.

---

12:42

CHEMIST

---

13:44

Wm. 'Borax' Horton, posing as a chemist, but in reality, a claim jumper.

… Pat Hartigan.

---

15:06

"I'm just out of testing fluid——you'll have to wait a couple of weeks for the report."

---

15:25

"By the way, Dave, where did you find this stuff?"

---

15:36

"Out there in the desert—maybe near—maybe far—who knows?"

---

16:25

Barstowe and his men, while rounding up the cattle, found traces everywhere of Lobo's cunning leadership.

---

16:52

"If we catch the leader, we can break up that wolf pack."

---

17:01

But catching a leader as daring as Lobo—was another matter.

---

18:04

With the cunning that had already made him famous, Lobo singles out one steer at a time for attack.

---

18:54

"Quick! The wolves are down in the canyon."

---

19:21

To protect the pack from the revengeful ranchers, Lobo draws the fire on himself.

---

21:42

"I know that wolf! That's the famous Lobo!"

---

21:49

"I'll give one hundred dollars for his hide!"

---

22:21

His foot, pierced by a cactus thorn.

---

22:53

Unable to extract the thorn, Lobo seeks the help of his mate.

---

23:29

Knowing the first sign of weakness means death—Lobo hides his injury.

---

24:03

As the wound grew worse, fear of his brother wolves, drove Lobo into the open—to die alone.

---

26:15

To Lobo, man was his greatest enemy—he expected no mercy.

---

26:26

"Lobo!"

---

27:51

Wondering why Lobo had deserted her and the puppies, the faithful mate waited in wain, for his return.

---

29:36

"Steady, Lobo, I'm only trying to stop the pain."

---

30:47

"I guess you're a tenderfoot, too, in this cactus country—you ought to wear boots!"

---

31:06

Even as, ages ago, the first wolf surrendered to man's love, so Lobo forsook the wild and became Dave's dog.

---

32:14

"You can't fool those horses—they know he's a wolf."

---

32:32

"Don't shoot, Bill—he's tame, now!"

---

32:57

"You'd better get rid of that wolf—he'll scare every horse in town."

---

33:08

"Yes, and if anybody recognizes him they'll shoot him."

---

33:33

"I haven't studied a full detective course, for nothin'."

---

34:38

"We're gettin' by great—nobody recognizes him!"

GENERAL MERCHANDISE

---

38:46

"That's Lobo and I'm goin' to get that reward!"

---

39:33

"Take him out of town quick Dave—I'll see you tonight."

---

40:00

That night a sand storm offered Dave an excuse to "accept" Barstowe's unwilling hospitality.

---

40:43

"S—sh! Not so loud—father's in the next room."

---

41:12

"Have you ever seen this tenderfoot making love to my daughter?"

---

42:09

"The storm's blown the corral fence down."

---

42:21

"If I come back and find them making love—you're fired!"

---

45:31

"I'll give you a kiss, if you don't tell Dad."

---

46:39

"I want a kiss—like Dave gets."

---

48:14

"I'm suspicious of Horton—I must post my claim—the storm will cover my tracks."

---

49:55

There was another on the trail—the faithful mate, who tried constantly, to win Lobo back from civilization.

After the storm had lifted.

The command of his master to seek out the girl is overcome by his desire for revenge on Horton.

ROSE HOTEL

Under cover of darkness.

---

1:02:59

"Something must have happened to Dave!"

---

1:03:20

"Don't shoot! I've already filed Dave's claim in my name——he must not turn up alive—I'll follow Lobo!"

---

1:03:39

Following Lobo's tracks.

---

1:04:07

At a nearby water hole with another canteen from Dave's shack.

"Lobo!—Here Lobo!"

1:07:31

"That wolf attacked me!"

---

1:07:37

"Which way did he go?"

---

1:10:18

"Get on that horse!"

1:13:15

Wolf heart or human
heart are ever the same—
when love rules.
