Believing that Burton might be camping in Red Hog, he sends a description of the man to the sheriff there, who immediately gets on the trail of Burton and finds the man (whom he believes is the one wanted), gambling in the saloon and making himself generally disagreeable by drawing his gun at the slightest provocation. As the description of this "bad man" is exact, with one exception that he has no beard, the sheriff of Red Dog sends word back to the sheriff of Dupree, telling him to come down and look him over. This is enough for the energetic Rand, but fearing that Burton might recognize him he borrows a suit from the resident minister. He "dresses up" and goes to Red Dog, where he meets Mrs. Page, the mother, and George, the brother of the sweetest girl he ever saw. He falls in love with Helen, but never forgets his mission. "Bad Bill" has been scorned by this girl and in a spirit of bravado, he decides to force the new minister to marry him to Helen. Going to her home, he calls out the minister, who is occupying the spare room, and at the point of a pistol demands that the ceremony be performed. This is the sheriff's first opportunity to capture the rustler, and, getting him off his guard, he gets "the drop" on him. After explaining to the sheriff of Red Dog, and proving by the scar over his eye that Burton is the man wanted by him in Dupree, the surprised mob take him to jail. The sheriff returns to Helen, asks her mother's consent to make the girl his "prisoner" for life. He receives her consent and they are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
