Ruby enters and tries to persuade her father to leave the place. He objects. Charles Stevens, a young lawyer, finds her standing at the door of the saloon, heart-broken. Stevens, who is addicted to strong drink, enters the place, drinks, and goes out unsteady on his legs. The men implicated in the murder of Mat Karn hit upon a scheme to incriminate the inoffensive Kane. They throw the body of Karn on the floor and Kane is laid across it, with a bloody knife placed in the hand of the drunken man. Kane is charged with the murder. The judge appoints Stevens to defend the accused. He visits Kane in prison and obtains from him the facts, the old man protesting his innocence. Ruby implores Stevens to save her father. Stevens recognizes the impossibility of clearing the old man in court and takes matters in his own hands. He visits the saloon, accompanied by the marshal, and forces a confession from "Red" Dooin at the muzzle of a revolver. Kane is acquitted and Ruby is grateful and her love for Stevens is now a passion. She visits his office and he gives her his photograph, which she carries away reverently. The lawyer has incurred the enmity of the pals of the men who have been punished for the murder of Karn. Stevens is surprised while seated near the river. He is bound to a log and thrown into the raging torrent. Kane happens to be walking along the river bank, rescues Stevens and supports him to his cabin, where the lawyer sinks to the ground. Ruby runs to the prostrate man and tries to minister to him, calling on him the while to speak to her, but he dies in her arms and the girl is denied the only thing in the world that she wanted most, the love of an honest man.
