Harold Lloyd western short

It's the mining town of the ironically named Peaceful Vale. Sheriff 'Gun Shy' Gallagher is not that helpful. Crooked Charley is the true ruler of the town. He demands payment from the father and daughter who own the local saloon. He kidnaps the daughter Nell. Billy Blazes (Harold Lloyd) arrives in time to save the day.

It's a 12 minute short. I don't really buy Harold Lloyd for this character. He should be a bumbling peacenik who lucks into winning the fight. He still does some high stunts walking on the roofs. I can't tell if he's doing his own stunt riding. It's fine, but not what I want from Lloyd.
