As a result of a coincidence, he kills his own brother. He becomes a fratricide, a thing to loathe, and he realizes what it is to kill. On a cattle ranch in the far west, two brothers, Pete and Ned Cullen, work for Thomas Bender, the ranch owner. Ned is the ranch foreman. He is faithful to his trust. Pete was born an enemy to the world. All his passionate longings and feverish objections to the work turns inward and lay waste his rebel soul. Pete has trouble with Bender and is discharged. He drinks and nurses the venomous sentiments until he decides to kill Thomas Bender. The ranch owner rides a white horse. While riding home from town. Bender's horse goes lame and the owner exchanges mounts with Ned. As the dusk gathers, the two brothers draw near to each other on a lonely stretch of road . Pete, believing that the rider of the white horse is Bender, shoots. He runs up to the mortally injured man to find that he has killed Ned, his younger brother, the one man he had to live for in the world. Ned made no resistance when the cowboys rode up and took him; he just stumbles along toward the end which awaits such men. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
