The Range Boss
is about Ruth Harkness, an eastern girl who comes west to take charge of the ranch her uncle has left her. Rex Randerson, the quiet, humorous and resourceful westerner is her range boss. Randerson meets her on her arrival, rescues her from a mired buckboard and is devotedly in love with her from that moment. Ruth however is engaged to Willard Masten who comes west as a member of her party. Masten who is a double dyed villain finds companions of his own calibre in Chavis and Pickett two typical "bad men" and there is much gun play before the story comes to an end with Ruth and her range boss happy in their mutual love and understanding (Book Review Digest, 1917.)
