The setting is the Old West town of Paradise, Nevada, where a young woman, Mercedes Murphy (played by Louise Glaum), co-owns and operates a combination saloon and dance hall called the Red Hen with her business partner, Slick Barney (played by Jack Richardson). Her little half-sister, Olive "Live" Sumner (played by Mildred Harris), who is crippled, lives with her and she makes every effort to protect the child. A tough, but good-hearted businesswoman, Mercedes shows a tender side at home with Live. Her partner, Slick, and a cowboy called the Heller (played by John Gilbert), who has a heart of gold, are both interested in Live.

Golden Rule Kate Audience Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
boblipton This is an interesting and atypical short for Triangle. First, Louise Glaum, who was one of the leading vamps of the 1910s -- she usually played the bad girl in William S. Hart westerns -- stars here as the heroine, an atypical good girl role, and she is excellent at it. Second, it is an early leading role for John Gilbert, and he lights up the screen. Why did it take ten years before he became a star? Third, the director is Reginald Barker, now sadly forgotten, but a fine story-telling director until the mid-thirties -- his best known movie was Ince's production of CIVILIZATION the previous year. and he tell his story with with interesting shots -- the intercutting between the preacher giving his Sunday sermon and the fourpiece band playing at the dance hall across the street is quick, funny and eloquent.In short, this is a fine serious movie. Take a look at it if you get the chance.
