His wife forgives him for his folly and determines, unknown to him, to try to raise the money. Accordingly, she rides off to town, but a girth on her saddle breaks and she is hurled to the ground, being rendered unconscious. Jules Valdez, a notorious road agent, has been terrorizing the surrounding country for some time, and a large reward has been offered for his capture. The sheriff and his posse catch sight of their quarry as he looks at a sign announcing the reward, and wound him in the side. He gets away, however, and comes across the senseless form of Mrs. Harding in the road. Picking her up, he carries her to her home, where Jim, recognizing him, hides him in a room, and attends to his injuries. He then throws the officers off the scent when they ride up to the house. A few days later Valdez comes across the letter referring to the payment on the ranch and determines to get the money in his lawless way, and to repay Jim for his kindness. He then dresses in the clothes of his benefactor, holds up a gambling joint in which Jim has just won a large roll, and relieves a noted gambler of his winnings. In the fusillade of shots which follows, Jim is wounded on the wrist and Valdez loses Jim's hat, which he has been wearing. The authorities find the hat, in which are Jim's initials, and when they learn that he has a large roll are sure of their Capture. Things look bad for the rancher. As Jim is being led away with the admonition that he "will hang for this," Valdez, who has returned to his hiding place in the house of his benefactor, comes forth and announces that he is the man whom they are seeking.
