The Senora tells him that the land was granted to her by her king, and that she will recognize no other authority. She throws the blank document into a drawer. Farnsworth meets the Senora's daughter, Tonia, and tells her that land grabbers are abroad, and impressing upon her the importance of immediate action. The land grabbers arrive and their leader, one Tierney, stakes the property, and sending the document to be recorded by an accomplice, Kane, he installs his band of ruffians in the hacienda. Tonia gets away and tells one of her servants, Felipe, to delay Kane, and this he does by means of offering him a drink, then another one. Tonia fills out the blank entry and rides to the fort, where Farnsworth tells her they must beat Kane to the recorder's. Kane, half drunk, suddenly realizes the trick being played upon him, and after a struggle with Felipe, he gets away, mounts and rides to the recorder's. He gets there just a little ahead of Farnsworth and Tonia, but his drunken condition impedes him and Farnsworth beats him in a fight whilst Tonia gets her document of possession filed. They proceed home and find that Tierney and his associates have terrorized the men and women and have put them to indignities. Farnsworth has ordered troopers to meet him at the hacienda and the ruffians, unable to produce any authority, are soon disposed of. The Senora, humbled by the experiences she has gone through, is glad to install Farnsworth as their protector, by granting him the hand of Tonia. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
