The distraught daughter agrees, and Cass robs the saloon to obtain the money, placing the blame on Jim Kane, his rival for Mamie's affections. Jim is sent to jail an embittered man. In the adjacent cell he watches a condemned Italian stone cutter spend the night before his execution chiseling a figure of Christ. After the sculptor collapses from exhaustion, Jim is astounded to see the spirit of Christ appear and minister to the condemned man. The religious experience converts Jim to Christianity. Meanwhile, Mamie Lee discovers Cass's written confession to the robbery and brings it to the judge. Realizing he is doomed, the sheriff kills himself, thus freeing Jim to begin life anew with Mamie Lee. Written by AFI See less
