Teamster Jim Logan was waited upon by a visiting angel, Clara Myers, who was visiting the hospital and distributing flowers, magazines and smiles. A flower passed from her pretty hand to Jim's hard one and at the same moment poor Jim lost his heart. After he was discharged from the hospital Jim found that Clara Myers was engaged to marry Lieutenant Cotter and that she was, therefore, above him in the social scale. Jim carried her image faithfully in his heart, even after she was married. Her husband one day was drawn into a quarrel with a Mexican half-breed who was connected with a gang of desperadoes. A few days later Lieutenant Cotter was ordered to a new post 50 miles away. The wagon in which the Lieutenant and his wife traveled was driven by Teamster Jim Logan. The Mexican saw them depart, quickly summoned his evil comrades and they waylaid the party on the road. Then Teamster Jim Logan made his great sacrifice. He cut loose the two mules and insisted that the Lieutenant and his wife escape upon them while he, Jim Logan, held back the Mexicans. Soon after the Lieutenant and his wife had ridden away they met a troop of cavalry with which they hurried back, hoping to save the brave teamster's life, but it was too late. With a kiss of the woman he had vainly loved upon his dying lips as his only reward, Teamster Jim Logan passed over the Great Divide. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
