The Gay Defender (1927)

A tale of New Spain, of cracking whips, of swishing crinoline, or bold Americanos, and dashing Dons.

Real-life outlaw Joaquin Murietta, who (according to this film, anyway) is a latter-day Robin Hood, dedicated to driving land-grabbers and corrupt politicians out of Spanish California.
