Carlino, Ralph's assistant, is also in love with the girl. Ralph is notified that a shipment of dynamite is due to arrive early the next morning. He decides to take it to the powder magazine himself. The boy and Raphaello are to go to a dance that night, but her uncle compels Raphaello to go with Carlino instead. Ralph meets the two just as they are starting out. He learns that Carlino is forcing his attentions upon Raphaello and a fight takes place, in which Carlino is worsted. Late that night Raphaello overhears Carlino and Giuseppe plotting to blow up the magazine when Ralph arrives to store the dynamite. The girl's presence is discovered. The conspirators bind her and lock the girl in a room above the saloon. The girl tries for several hours to free herself of her bonds. A knothole in the floor gives her an idea. She forces one of her braids through the hole. The dangling hair attracts the attention of the men in the saloon and they come to Raphaello's rescue. The girl rides to warn her sweetheart of his peril. The plotters lay a fuse, which they embed in powder, from the interior magazine to a clump of bushes outside. Ralph, on his way to the magazine with the dynamite, is overtaken by Raphaello and learns of the dastardly plot. Carlino and Giuseppe, while working over the fuse, accidentally touch off the powder. A terrific explosion takes place. When Ralph and his sweetheart dash up to the scene, the conspirators are found buried under a mass of wreckage, the victims of their own plot.
