Fifty Thousand Dollar Reward

The titular monetary amount refers to the price placed on the head of fugitive Ken Maynard. Actually, Maynard is innocent, but try telling that to the authorities. Calling upon his considerable physical resources, Ken eludes capture and brings the genuine villains to heel. Esther Ralston, one of the great beauties of the silent screen, appears as Maynard's leading lady. $50,000 Reward tells its broad-based story in a compact 5 reels, slightly less than an hour's worth of screen time.
