The cowboys on the ranch form a posse and go in pursuit of Tango. They chase him several days and get him cornered before he can reach the line. Wilton learns that Tango will attempt to stop at Judge Denton's home. He orders the posse to wait for him while he goes on to the house to investigate. There he meets Lillian Denton, the judge's daughter. He tells her he is Tango and demands that she hide him from the posse which is chasing him, which she does. The real Tango arriving, Wilton captures him and he is taken to jail. Several days later Tango escapes from jail. Wilton and Lillian meet on the trial. Lillian, returning home, overhears the Judge and John West planning to blow up the roadway which Wilton will have to pass when taking his cattle to market. Mounting her horse she rides off and arrives in time to warn Wilton of his danger just before the road is blown up. He thanks her and leaves. John West, lying in wait for the results of the explosion, confronts Lillian and a struggle ensues. She draws her gun, and just as she shoots him (as she supposes) a shot rings out and West falls. Thinking she has killed West, she mounts her horse and flees for home. Wilton, hearing the shot, arrives on the scene after she has left. He is beside the body of West when the sheriff and posse, in pursuit of Tango, comes upon the scene. They arrest Wilton and take him to the sheriff's office. Lillian, who has seen the posse in the distance on her way home, also rides to the sheriff's office, and confesses to the deed herself. Judge Denton, her father, who is also present, signs bonds for her release, and, upon arriving at home, examines the gun which Lillian used in shooting West. He discovers that it is one of the guns loaded with blank cartridges which the men use in rounding up the sheep. The judge denounces her, accuses her of taking the blame when she is not guilty and orders her from the house. Lillian determining to tell Wilton what she has done and of her father's accusation, rides to his home, and upon hearing of her father's injustice, Wilton asks her to become his wife. They immediately set out for the parson's home. In the meantime Judge Denton rides to town and tells the sheepman of his daughter's duplicity to save Wilton. They form a posse and meet Wilton and Lillian returning from the parson's home, where they have been married. The posse take Wilton and hurry him away to mete out western justice in punishment of his supposed crime. Lillian hurries back to the parson's home to secure his aid, and arrives there just as Tango (who had been severely wounded by the posse in pursuit of him), signs his dying confession to the killing of John West from ambush. Lillian and the parson call for the sheriff, and the three ride to the saloon where the sheepmen are about to mob Frank Wilton. Explanations are made and Judge Denton forgives his daughter and welcomes Frank to his home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
