The driver of the coach unhitches one of the horses and rides to the nearest town, notifies the sheriff, who goes in pursuit with the posse. Broncho abandons his horse and takes to the underbrush. The sheriff and his men, finding the horse riderless, dismount and take up the trail. Broncho is finally seen by the sheriff, who shoots at him. Broncho, returning fire, kills him. Years later the sheriff's widow is in destitute circumstances through the loss of her husband. The baby, now a boy of about eight years, discovers Broncho Billy in the woods, suffering from loss of blood and lack of food. He gives Broncho a piece of bread and returns to the shack for more. During this brief period Broncho faints, and is found unconscious by the returning boy, who runs and tells his mother. She carries Broncho into her home, where, on reviving he recognizes a picture on the wall as that of the former sheriff. Taking a reward notice out of his pocket that offers $5,000 for his capture, dead or alive, he writes on the bottom of it: "Sheriff, I'm a goner. This woman is entitled to the reward. Please see that she gets it." After his death the widow notifies the sheriff. He has the body removed, then OK's the note left by the dead outlaw and assures the widow she will receive the reward. With her boy clasped in her arms she watches the posse disappear down the rugged trail. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
