Nell Shipman, 1920: a woman writer is kidnapped in the desert and the rescue vehicle is a Maxwell roadster, not a horse. Shipman produced, co-directed with Bert Van Tuyle, wrote, and starred; Joseph Walker shot the rocks and the car. It is a western that believes in machinery, and a star who did her own stunts in country that could kill you. Shot in the Mojave for Nell Shipman Productions, before she went further north.

Women Pioneers of Silent Cinema
Nell Shipman produced this for Nell Shipman Productions, co-directed with Bert Van Tuyle, wrote the script, and did her own stunts in the Mojave while Joseph Walker pointed the camera at a Maxwell roadster. A woman writer is kidnapped in the desert, and the rescue vehicle is a car, not a horse, which is a production choice as much as a gag. She was already done waiting for a studio to let her run the set. The company name on the picture is hers, and the desert is a location she chose before she moved that company farther north into the Idaho woods.
