SYNOPSIS
A cowboy is wrongfully accused of murder. He winds up in Harlem, where he assumes the identity of a preacher-turned-gangster who looks like him. He infiltrates the gang to catch the men who framed him.
A man wrongly accused of murder disguises himself as a Harlem gangster known as "the Deacon", in order to bring to justice the men who framed him. He succeeds and reveals himself to the girl who loves him, and they go off to live happily ever after. There are many cleverly comic interludes in the story.
