Trama e note

 
Il vagabondo Jim, introducendosi in una fattoria dove cerca ospitalità e un pasto caldo, si accorge che il proprietario giace morto: l'assassina è la sua figliastra, Nancy. Questa era stata riscattata da un orfanatrofio, ma il sordido patrigno voleva farne la propria amante. La mattina, dopo un tentativo di stupro, questa si era ribellata sanguinosamente. Jim, forse già innamorato, decide di aiutarla e Nancy, vestita da uomo, fugge con lui. La ragazza si adatta ad una vita da vagabonda, ma gli inizi sono duri: il tentativo di prendere un treno al volo si conclude con un capitombolo, così come quello di farsi portare da un carro all'insaputa del conducente. I due decidono di trascorrere la notte in un pagliaio dove si scambiano le prime confidenze: Jim sta cercando di arrivare in Canada dove iniziare una nuova vita così come Nancy che desidera solo un luogo che possa chiamare casa.
Il giorno dopo si imbattono in una comune di vagabondi guidati dai rivali Oklahoma Red e Arkansas Snake; Nancy, nonostante gli abiti maschili, viene riconosciuta e rischia di diventare la concubina del gruppo, ma il sopraggiungere dei poliziotti sulle tracce della ragazza mette in fuga i vagabondi che si rifugiano su un vagone.
Qui viene improvvisata una Corte di Giustizia che sentenzia il peggio: Jim sarà gettato dal treno in corsa, Nancy dovrà soggiacere alle voglie di tutti. Ma questa, astutamente, mette zizzania tra i due capi e , nella confusione, Jim si impossessa dell'arma di Oklahoma Red e capovolge la situazione. Ma i poliziotti setacciano il treno: Oklahoma stacca il vagone dalla motrice e, quando arresta la sua corsa, il gruppo può disperdersi. I due protagonisti, Black Moses e un moribondo si rifugiano in una baracca; più tardi li raggiunge Oklahoma Red. Nancy rifiuta di seguire quest'ultimo in Canada pur di restare con Jim: Oklahoma, colpito da questa dichiarazione d'amore, finge di distrarsi e fa fuggire i due (Nancy ha intanto indossato abiti femminili). Non solo: insieme a Black Moses riveste con i vecchi indumenti di Nancy il barbone ora deceduto e inscena la sua falsa morte. Infatti i poliziotti sono intanto arrivati con il resto del treno che si era staccato; Oklahoma incendia una parte di questo e, davanti ai loro occhi, finge di non riuscire a salvare dalle fiamme la falsa "Nancy". Ora la ragazza ricercata è ufficialmente morta. Il rude Oklahoma è invece ucciso a morte dagli agenti: il suo sacrificio sarà ignorato da Nancy e Jim che vediamo intanto dirigersi verso il Canada e una nuova vita.
Il film, che viene considerato la miglior prova drammatica della Brooks in terra americana, è ricco di retroscena che vengono descritti con il consueto, ironico distacco dall'attrice nell'articolo
On location with Billy Wellman. In Italia, che si sappia, l'unico a notarlo fu Francesco Savio nel suo Visione privata, dove elogia in modo esplicito la caratterizzazione di Louise (al contrario di Richard Arlen). E' sintomatico il fatto che Savio, nell'introduzione al suo libro, citi proprio il lavoro di ricerca e valorizzazione del film muto operato dalla Cinemateque Française guidata da Henri Langlois e sia stato il primo in Europa a rivalutare l'attrice americana (in un articolo del 1951 su Cinema nuova serie).
