William S. Hart as Ice Harding, 1917, his first Artcraft picture after leaving Triangle, directed by Lambert Hillyer. Ice tames a wild pinto, The King (Hart's horse Fritz), holds up a stage, and meets Betty Werdin, niece of San Francisco vice lord Admiral Bates. He poses as a rancher in Saddle City; Bates tries to fleece him. Famous Players-Lasky paid for location work in San Francisco. Exhibitor's Trade Review ran the plot in January 1918.
In one programme
Ice Harding, a stage robber, and a pinto called The King, played by Hart's own horse Fritz. The camera tracks the horse's intelligence as closely as any human face. San Francisco vice for the second half. Watch the horse. Hart did.
