Plot

The story centers around a prospector named Harry Webb who returns to town from the desolate Funeral Range. He falls in love with a cabaret singer, Janice Williams. A series of unfortunate events leads to Harry being falsely accused of a crime he did not commit. To protect Janice, he takes the blame. Sentenced to death, Harry escapes from the train and disappears into the desert. He eventually returns, disguised, with a plan to clear his name. Through a dramatic turn of events, the real culprit is exposed, and Harry's innocence is finally proven. He is reunited with Janice and can finally live a life free from injustice.

Cast

Reception

Like many American films of the time, The Man from Funeral Range was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required cuts, in Reel 2, of the young woman shooting the man and, in Reel 4, two scenes of an attack on a guard.
