Plodding over the roads in a mountain they come upon Barbara, who has become separated from her father with whom she went fishing. The men abduct her. Meanwhile a detachment of militia in charge of John Wallace, Barbara's admirer, is pursuing the escaped convicts. They come upon Ace Brent searching for his daughter Barbara, and then the terrible truth dawns upon them. Barbara determines on strategy, and plays on Benny's better feelings, gradually enlisting his aid. When the pursuit grows too dangerous, "Red Shirt" scratches a warning on a board: "The first one what shoots I kill the girl." At the next stop "Red Shirt" forces his attentions on Barbara, but she succeeds in getting hold of his gun and keeping him at bay until Benny comes to her aid. "Help me to escape, Benny," she says, "and I will help you." Benny empties all the cartridges from all the guns so as to delay pursuit, mounts the only horse in camp and, as he sweeps by, pulls Barbara into the saddle behind him. They have scarcely escaped when the militia descend upon the gang. Grabbing their guns, the convicts take refuge in a farmhouse, and a pitched battle is soon on. But "Red Shirt," burning for vengeance, has sneaked off alone in pursuit of Barbara and Benny. Wallace and Brent have also taken up this search. "Red Shirt" comes up with the pair just as Barbara is sending Benny away to secure safety for himself. A shot from Gordon's gun throws Benny from his horse and he lays apparently dead. "Red Shirt" pounces on Barbara; her revolver is knocked from her hand, and a struggle follows. Benny, with his last bit of life, crawls inch by inch until he reaches the revolver and with a shot that also marks his last breath dispatches Gordon. A few moments later Wallace and Brent come upon Barbara. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
