Gerson Pictures Corp.This may be the logging camp film, mentioned in the 15 Sep 1923 Camera, that Ora Carew and her supporting actors—Jay Morley, Hal Stephen, Sandford, and Eddie O’Brien—had already begun working on, as a follow-up to Waterfront Wolves (1924, see entry). This might also be the film mentioned in a column in the 22 Sep 1923 Camera: director Tom Gibson was making a series of movies with the same company of actors. They had already finished Waterfront Wolves. “Part of the studio work is completed, and some exteriors on a beautiful estate near Burlingame. The company will leave within a few days for the Santa Cruz Mountains, where they will film scenes in an actual lumber camp.” The Burlingame scenes may have been for another film they were probably shooting concurrently, called Paying the Limit (see entry).
According to the 10 Nov 1923 and 24 Nov 1923 issues of Camera, Getting Her Man was the fourth picture in a series of six-reelers starring Ora Carew. The other three were Waterfront Wolves, Paying the Limit, and Three Days to Live (all 1924, see entries). The company left San Francisco in early Nov 1923 “for an abandoned mine in the mountains [of] La Honda [in southern San Mateo County, CA], where they will be on location for some time.” Location shooting took roughly two weeks. Thirty-five members were in the cast and crew. On Thanksgiving Day, shortly after returning to San Francisco, actress Helen Howell and assistant director Frank Capra were married during ceremonies attended by director Tom Gibson, Ora ...

When her brother is badly wounded by the head of a gang of smugglers, U.S. Secret Service agent Doris Stanton goes undercover to follow the man, whose photograph she has obtained, to the Canadian Rockies. At a camp in the Rockies, she is befriended by Ben Daniels, with whom she falls in love. One day, after Daniels shaves his beard, Doris is shocked to see that he is the man in the photograph. Choosing duty over her heart, Doris takes Ben prisoner, but soon learns that the photograph she was given does not identify him as the head of the smuggling gang but as another Secret Service agent. Meanwhile, Warren Bates, a mysterious man who earlier had aroused Doris' suspicions, has followed her to Canada and divulged her true identity to the band of smugglers, of whom he secretly is the head. Eventually, Doris and Ben capture Bates and his gang and the two Secret Service agents happily return ...
