The Arizona Express is a 1924 American silent crime drama film directed by Tom Buckingham and starring Pauline Starke and Evelyn Brent.[1][2]
Plot
[edit | edit source]As described in a film magazine review,[3] David Keith, although engaged to a young woman of the town, comes to love Lola Nichols, a cabaret dancer who pretends to love him in order to obtain information on the layout of a bank that she and her gang intend to rob. When Keith's uncle discovers the plan, he is killed by one of the woman's confederates. Keith is accused of the murder and sent to prison. Just a few minutes before he is set to be executed, he is pardoned by the governor through the efforts of his sister Katherine and her sweetheart Steve, who have secured evidence that establishes his innocence.
