Hutch of the U.S.A. (1924)

"Hutch," a newspaper reporter, is sent to investigate conditions in the Republic of Guadala, where General Moreno is plotting to overthrow President Bonilla and establish a dictatorship. Hutch remains to aid the revolutionaries out of sympathy with their cause and because of his love for the general's ward, Marquita. Moreno's troops are defeated, but Hutch wins the girl.
