| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
Director Tom Terriss took his cast and crew to Cuba and Spain to give this romantic drama authentic
exteriors. Character actor Pedro de Cordoba stars as Dorando, an officer of the Spanish army.
When his wife is killed as the result of an attack by the lascivious Marques de Bazan (Gustav Von
Seyffertitz), Dorando becomes an outlaw and is soon known as El Bandolero. He kidnaps the
Marques' young son, Ramón, and hands him over to be raised by one of his own men. When Ramón
grows up he falls in love with Dorando's beautiful daughter, Petra (Renée Adorée). Dorando forbids
the match, so Ramón leaves and becomes a bullfighter. When Ramón turns down the advances of
Concha (Dorothy Rush), she vindictively asks the Marques to order him to kill a bull before it has
been worn out. Only after Ramón is gored does the Marques discover that he is his own son. He
rushes to Ramón’s bedside and begs forgiveness from both his son and Dorando. Dorando, who
has been made chief of the mountain police, accepts the apology. Ramón recovers and Dorando
gives him and Petra his blessings.
