The Silent Signal Filming Locations

Major Carews, in command of a squadron of cavalry near El Paso on the Mexican border, receives a visit from his daughter, Lucile. The Major greets her and she meets his adjutant, Lieutenant Gilmore. They become very friendly, so much so that when she amusedly receives the attentions of one Jose Montero, of the Mexican Junta, Gilmore resents it. She laughs at him. Later, Jose becoming too strenuous in his importunities, Lucile makes him ridiculous by shoving a kitten in his face as he is about to kiss her. Enraged, he stalks away and meets the half-breed, Buck, on the trail near the camp. More or less beside himself with humiliation, he vents his rage on the half-breed, attempting to take his horse away from him. Lucile sees the encounter and rushes to the rescue of Buck. Jose then turns his attentions to the girl, attempting to kiss her and would succeed but for the timely arrival of Gilmore, who knocks him down. Vowing vengeance Jose crosses the border and enlisting the services of some Mexican outlaws returns and succeeds in capturing Gilmore together with the half-breed, Buck, who unwittingly stumbled on the outlaw band. Buck is forced to cook for the outlaws. While doing so he manages to send up a series of smoke signals and thus smokegraphs their plight to the U.S. camp. Lucile, to whom Buck has taught the smoke code, sees and reads the message. She informs her father, who orders a troop of U.S. Cavalry to the rescue. The rescue is made after a spectacular chase and fight through the mountains and Lucile is once more happy in the arms of her lover.
