At the club one evening Hartley, one of the members, speaks lightly of Harriet. "The Lion" flies into a rage and fells him. The other members escape into an adjoining room. Warren, feeling for the heart of his victim, finds a letter making a tryst and takes this as proof of Harriet's infidelity. In the other room Dick, Warren's friend, suggests that for his own good they shanghai him and send him away. The others agree. "The Lion" is overpowered, drugged and placed in an outgoing freight box-car. Three days later Warren, weak and sobered, crawls out of his prison to find himself in a small prairie town. Throwing away his coat and hat, he applies and secures a job at a nearby ranch. Here he is ridiculed by the cow-punchers. "The Lion" is about to fly into a rage when he remembers the results of his last outburst. The punchers brand him as a coward. Meanwhile, Hartley has recovered from the blows. Harriet, worried at Warren's disappearance, seeks Dick, but he denies any knowledge of Warren. At the ranch Warren has become fairly well liked. A crisis arrives one evening when in front of the entire outfit a puncher slaps Warren's face. Warren permits the foreman to form the boys in a circle preparatory to a fight. At this moment Harriet, accompanied by Dick, appears. Unable to witness her grief, Dick has told her all and she has come west to seek Warren. In a few words she explains the message and satisfies Warren of her constancy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
