In the course of their travel they run out of water. Jordan, determined to get some, starts out on foot. Having been gone several hours, his wife, now in a serious condition, instructs the older child to find her father. During Jordan's absence a mail-carrier, taking a package of money across the valley, is held up and robbed. The outlaws find the child wandering far from the now destitute camp, the mother having died. They take the child back to camp where the infant, clasped in the arms of its lifeless mother, is huddled. They then hitch up the horses and are about to drive away when a posse arrives and places the two men under arrest. Jordan returns to the camp and finds his wagon gone. A deputy is sent back to get Jordan. Jordan is then taken to the town where the two men have been put in jail. The children are returned to their father. Jordan sobs out his grief at the loss of his wife, but happy in the return of his motherless babies. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
