The Social Highwayman

Overview

Young reporter Jay Walker is given the job of investigating Ducket Nelson, an infamous bandit. While driving in the country Walker is held up by Nelson--who is disguised as an elderly Gypsy woman--and when his colleagues at the newspaper find out and ridicule him, his publisher tells him not to come back until he himself captures Nelson. Determined to avenge his embarrassment, he sets out to find and bring in the bandit.
