In the place of the old rancho he finds a new civilization. Only one landmark remains: the home of his dead sweetheart. Wearied by his days of travel he falls exhausted on his sweetheart's grave and dreams of yesterday: his courtship, his serenades to his senorita, and the confirmation of her love by the token of a rose. He beholds a vision of the base plot of Pasqual Chavez, who demands the hand of Juanita by threatening to take advantage of a law to dispossess her father, and for his sake, she marries Pasqual. The ceremony has just been completed when the rancho is besieged by hostile Indians. In terror, Pasqual jumps from a window and is shot by one of the besiegers. The rest of the company give battle. The savage attackers are fast closing in upon the house. Ygnacio, late for the wedding, is just putting in an appearance. He spurs his horse and turns back and notifies a party of cowboys. With them, he comes to the rescue of Juanita and her friends, killing and putting the Indians to flight. Pasqual's body is found, Juanita is now free to give her heart and hand to Ygnacio. As the last vision of the days of long ago fades away, Ygnacio awakens in the land from whence no traveler e'er returns. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
