There is a fight. Lee shoots the gambler and makes his escape. The sheriff concluded that the gambler was shot in cold blood, and with a posse, take after the fugitive. When about to be captured, Lee stumbles across an emigrant, his wife and daughter who are traveling west in a prairie schooner. He tells them his story. They pity his youth and hide him in the wagon. The sheriff and posse are sent in the wrong direction by the emigrant. Lee shows a growing fondness for the daughter of the emigrant and she for him. He is seen by the searching party, and the chase is renewed. He and the girl climb into the wagon and force the horses into a dead run. The cumbersome schooner is overtaken. When the sheriff returns to the town with Lee, the gambler has recovered and confesses that he was cheating. The sheriff returns to the emigrants with Lee and exonerates him. The picture fades out as Lee and the girl climb into the rear of the schooner and the vehicle goes on its way. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
