Overview
John Sark is the owner of a piece of land coveted by Henry Murden, leader of the band of “White Riders,” who has purloined the information that a railroad wishes to buy the property. Sark is a naturalist and has for an assistant Rose Ember. He discovers one of the rider’s masks which is made of one of Rose’s handkerchiefs, and this introduces a mysterious element into the love affair. The mask belonged to her father.
