Waning silent star Dorothy Mackaill was top-billed as Mame, one of five mail-order brides arriving at Lottagrasso, a remote Brazilian gold mining community.
The fifth girl, Mary Lee (Dorothy Libaire), is actually there about a job but knowing the reputation of the mining boss, Von Luden (Alan Hale), Mame supplies the girl with a picture of Dave Hart (Regis Toomey) and tells her to pretend to be a bride as well.
Although performing with her usual assurance, nominal leading lady Dorothy Mackaill was given very little to do by producer M.H. Hoffman, who was obviously more interested in promoting young Dorothy Libaire, the wife of stage and screen director Marion Gering.

 THE BARKER (George Fitzmaurice) Milton Sills, Dorothy Mackaill, Betty Compson, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
THE BARKER (George Fitzmaurice) Milton Sills, Dorothy Mackaill, Betty Compson, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
A very young Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., on the other hand, is surprisingly believable as the innocent boy in love, and so is Betty Compson (who received most of the raves when the film came out) as the scheming hula dancer.
Additionally, even though Betty Compson is the one wearing skimpy clothes, it is a fully dressed Mackaill who has the film's sexiest scene: While lying with Douglas Fairbanks in an orchard, she determinedly places his hand on her breasts.

Any faithful filmgoer will recognize the plot as belonging to a threadbare formula--one which has done yeoman service on the screen.
The best feature of the picture is Dorothy Mackaill's vital performance...Conway Tearle as the husband and Ricardo Cortez as the other man are also effective, while Lon Chaney's personality is buried in a small role...It is a finely mounted production, but the story is weak." ---Motion Picture News
