The Moores were engaged in handling illicit whiskey, or in other words were bootleggers. Tom Thiel, a devil-may-care young fellow and foreman of the Moore ranch was also in on the game. Thiel was desperately in love with Honey Moore, but that young lady would not listen to his professions, as she preferred Private Fitzgerald of the Royal Northwestern Mounted Police. This made Thiel insanely jealous, as he naturally bated anyone wearing the red coat of the mounted police. One day, while the Moores are receiving a consignment of whiskey, which had been sent to them from across the border, they are surprised by the appearance of one lone mounted policeman. Thiel, being the first to discover the presence of the officer, shoots him. The policeman's riderless horse wanders back to the barracks. Private Fitzgerald follows the horse and is led back to the scene of the crime. There Fitzgerald finds the top lift of a boot heel, which he thinks may lead to the discovery of the murdered policeman. The clever way in which he traces and finds his man and finally arrests him, makes a most interesting story. When Thiel has finally been disposed of, Fitzgerald returns to Honey and makes her his partner for life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
