Ben tried to make love to Becky, Bill's daughter, but she informed him she had no ambitions to be Mrs. Callahan. Then a young stranger arrived, who told Becky that her father knew all about him, so she said that he could take the cabin in the woods till her rather came back. As the days passed they grew to love each other and Ben became very jealous. Then came a notice saying that Richard Stanley was wanted for a murder, giving a description that fitted Stanton. When Becky found this out she was very much worried and sent Tommy to warn her lover of his danger. Stanton, seeing that there was no way to prove his identity, tried to get away and hid in some nearby bushes. But by accident the men fired some shots and one found its way into the bushes, wounding Dick. He managed to drag himself to Becky's cottage and she hid him in the attic. Some tell-tale drops of blood revealed Dick to the sheriff. The men decided to lynch him. Becky pleaded in vain, so as they took him away she sent Tommy for her father. Tommy rode as hard as he could and met Bill on the way home. Now he remembered the letter which he had forgotten to give Bill, and when he opened it Bill read that Dick was a government forest expert. Hard and fast they rode to save an innocent man and succeeded in arriving just as Dick was about to be hung. After all the explanations were made Dick was freed and Ben foiled in his attempt on Dick's life, retired to safer parts. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
