She does not want to marry him, but is forced to do so by her father. After the marriage, Clancy and McRae have a quarrel over the division of some loot. Clancy refuses to give McRae his share. The latter gets sore and squeals on Clancy to the police. Clancy is arrested and sent to the state penitentiary. In the meantime McRae and his daughter have been watching the arrest from a nearby corner, and when they see Clancy taken away, they decide to leave the country. They go to the orange country and live in a little shack near the orange groves. McRae makes his living by stealing oranges, etc. He is caught by one of the owners and ordered off the place. The owner of the grove returns to his house and tells his son about the affair. In the meantime Mary McRae and the son have met and the latter is very much in love with Mary, though she feels that she cannot return his love on account of the marriage with Clancy. A few nights later, McRae drives up to the grove with a wagon and starts stealing oranges when he is caught by the hired man. The latter takes a shot at McRae. McRae returns the shot and wounds the hired man. The owner and his son, on the porch, hearing the shots, rush to the scene, the son following McRae. During this time, Clancy has made his getaway from prison and comes to the orange country also, and finally comes to the shack where McRae and his daughter are living. He sees Mary and makes her get her hat and coat and go with him. The father comes on the scene; the two men pull guns on each other, and Mary rushes to the lamp to put out the light. Clancy shoots at the light and hits Mary. McRae raises his gun to shoot, and Clancy and he shoot simultaneously and both drop to the floor. The son of the orange grower, hearing the shots, comes to the house and finds all three lying on the floor and thinks them dead. He picks up Mary and a wallet drops from her waist. The bullet has pierced the wallet but has not gone through. She explains all details, and the son asks her to marry him as the picture ends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
