Fangs of Fate is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by Horace B. Carpenter and starring Bill Patton, Dorothy Donald, and Ivor McFadden.[1]

Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] outlaws terrorize the town of Arcady, Arizona. Bob Haynes, a stranger, is attracted by Azalia Bolton, daughter of a boarding house keeper, and protects her from some drunken rowdies. She inspires him to change his life to the better. Sheriff Dan Dodo Briggs offers to make Bob a deputy, but he declines. Later, following a stage coach holdup, he accepts the offered position and brings in the guilty bandits, but confesses that he used to be their leader. The outlaws are sent to jail, but Judge Harcourt paroles Bob into Azalia's custody.
