Blue
Blazes’
Rawden
(1918)
Tough lumberjack Blue Blazes Rawden takes up residence at the hotel of the
equally tough Englishman, Ladyfingers Hilgard. Because Blue Blazes beats him at
cards and steals the heart of his woman, Babette Du Fresne, Hilgard challenges
Blue Blazes to a gunfight and is killed. Hilgard's mother and brother Eric soon vis-
it the hotel, and Blue Blazes, touched by Mrs. Hilgard's gentle nature, tells her Hil-
gard died honorably. Babette, angry at Blue Blazes' inattention, tells Eric the
truth, and Eric, enraged, shoots and seriously wounds Blue Blazes. After saving
Eric from a lynch mob, Blue Blazes makes him promise never to tell Mrs. Hilgard
what he knows and leaves town a reformed man.
