One day Tom gives Mabel a bracelet and Mabel reciprocates the following day by giving Tom a penknife. A short while after a line rider comes upon Tom and his partner, Tip, branding cattle. In his hurry to escape, Tom forgets his knife, which is picked up by the line traveler and later handed to the sheriff, to be restored to its rightful owner. In his travels, Will asks Mabel if she recognizes the knife. She says she gave it to Tom a few days ago. As the cattle brander and his partner happen to be at the saloon. Will covers them with his gun. Through some cleverness on the part of Tom and Tip, they manage to get the "drop" on the sheriff, thereby effecting their escape. The sheriff organizes a posse and gives chase over hills, broken country roads and through rivers. Finally Tom and Tip are cornered on the top of a steep hill and rather than surrender, jump over. Will is married to Mabel and accepts a position as her employee as her bartender for life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
