The boys hear of her coming, and though the town has long since reformed, determine to return to the "bad old days" during the time of her visit, so that she shall not be disappointed. They meet her and the sheriff starts things by shooting a man who steps in front of her. Then he tells of a desperate bandit, "Rattlesnake Ike," who is in the neighborhood. This is none other than Eddie, the Parson's son, dressed up for the occasion. He appears and holds up the gang, giving the money to Edith. She deposits it with her own in the bank, and then "Rattlesnake Ike" holds up the bank. They capture Ike and prepare to hang him, but Edith shoots the rope in two, and forces Ike, at the point of her revolver, to board the train with her. She tells him that she is going to reform him in Boston, and the boys have to watch the disappearance of Eddie, with all their available funds. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
