The Red Warning is a 1923 American silent Western film directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring Jack Hoxie, Fred Kohler, and Elinor Field.[1][2]

Plot[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[3] ranchman David Ainslee loses his cattle through bandit raids, searches for a desert mine, and is found wounded and dying by Phil Haver. Phil brings the news to David's daughter Louise. Phil gives the young woman some gold, which he pretends is from the mine. He gathers a vigilante band and captures the cattle thieves, revenging himself on the man who killed Ainslee, and wins the young woman in the process.
