He falls in love with the American ranchman's daughter, and while she appreciates his sincerity, she does not return his affection for her. Tony not only loves, he respects her, and will not inflict his attentions upon her, and will not inflict his attentions upon her, neither seeking recognition nor reward. He overhears a conspiracy among a gang of dissolute Mexicans to attack the American ranch, and when they insult the stars and stripes he defends the flag, makes away with it, and a bold dash for the ranch to warn Helen of the approaching danger. She jumps upon his horse and makes a daring ride at break-neck speed to reach her father and his cowboys, who hasten to defend the home. Tony, who has made a brave fight against the black-hearted devils, is captured and shot as he presses to his lips a handkerchief that once belonged to the idol of his undying love. The ranchman, his daughter and his men arrive in time to save the home and rout the desperadoes. Helen finds the lifeless form of poor Tony, clasping the evidence that shows his last thought was of her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
