The ranchers, to fill him with a fear and dread of the dangers of the Wild West, tell him of the celebrated bandit and terror of the country, "Red Mask." Marsden, in conversation with the ranch owner's daughter Evelyn, at whose home he is staying, says he is not at all disturbed by these terrible tales, and that he would not go out of his way to avoid meeting the man-killer, Evelyn makes up her mind to test his courage. Dressing as a cowboy, she takes up a position at the corner of the roads where she knows that Bob must pass on his way to town--but she falls into her own trap. Red Mask passes that way and holds her up at the point of his revolver. The outlaw's keen eye at once detects that she is a woman, and stripping the mask from her face he indulges in a hearty laugh. At this moment Bob Marsden appears upon the scene and commands Red Mask to throw up his hands. He dares not refuse when he sees that Bob has the drop on him. Evelyn comes to Bob's assistance, and the two succeed in taking the bandit to the sheriff and securing the reward. On his return home, Bob offers Evelyn the reward, saying it rightfully belongs to her. She refuses to take it. He tells her that there is only one reward for him. She asks him what it is; he replies that it is she and she consents to become his wife. As a man of nerve and courage Bob Marsden is second to none. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
