For months he has been hunted in vain by Bob Ford, the sheriff. Mary Gray, a young lady physician, comes west; Robbins befriends her and, not knowing him to be a bandit, she admires him. One day the sheriff gets close enough to Robbins to seriously wound him and he is in desperate straits. By accident Dr. Gray finds him and he becomes her patient. As a matter of professional honor, she refuses to reveal his whereabouts, and she nurses him back to health. Robbins in the meantime has grown to love and admire the brave, honorable little woman, and he lets her know his love. Now, down in her heart, she loves Robbins in return, for she sees the good in him; but she also realizes that he is a thief. Bidding him good-bye, she gives him a few words to think over: "Remember that no good woman can love a thief, and that you can't build happiness on a life of crime." Robbins does think the words over, and the man who never feared the guns of the sheriff's posse now shrinks before his own conscience. He gives himself up to Ford, the sheriff, and is soon doing time in the penitentiary. Five years later, he is released, a reformed man. Now with self-respect, but with an aching heart, he is about to leave the west forever when the doctor hears all about it. Her heart is still in the right place and soon what threatened to be a tragedy becomes a delicate romance. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
