One misfortune follows another and Bob becomes an outlaw, while his wife, in a distant city, struggles to earn a living by sewing. Mrs. North, unable to learn anything concerning her husband, suffers many vicissitudes and finally answers an advertisement for a school teacher in the West. By strange fate she makes her home at the same ranch where her husband applied for work. A series of lawless acts attributed to the bandit, cause the authorities to become particularly vigilant and at length Bob's trail is discovered. Mrs. North's little girl wanders away from the ranch and is lost in the mountains. In his flight Bob discovers the little one and carries her to his retreat. The child becomes ill and Bob determines to take her to a doctor at all hazards. He shaves off his beard, places the child in a sack and starts for the village. A deputy encountering Bob on the highway is suspicious and gives chase. Just as he is about to capture the outlaw, the wife, who has been searching for her child, sees the affair and through a subterfuge effects Bob's rescue. Establishing a new home, Bob sets to work with a will and makes ample restitution for his unfortunate past. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
