Barker, a gambler with whom Anne is in love, is struck with the dancing girl's beauty. Later Anne sees Pepita flirting with Barker and bitterly reproaches him. Pepita dances in the saloon and makes a big hit. Anne is heartbroken when Barker devotes himself to the dancer. Pepita induces him to rob the safe in the saloon and elope with her. They get a large amount of money and stealthily leave the house. Anne sees them and determines that Pepita shall not have Barker. Taking her gun, she rides after them, saying, "I'll find them, and we'll all die together." In the division of the gold, Pepita shows her greed and he disgustedly turns his back on her. She stabs him and flees with the money. Anne finds Barker badly wounded. Filled with love and pity, she brings him home. Anne sees the saloon proprietor, who has discovered the robbery, coming with a posse, and prepares for defense. Barker cries out and she quickly drops to his side. The men are about to seize him when Anne interferes and offers to replace the stolen money. The proprietor refuses the offer, and turning to the crowd, says, "I am ready to call it quits, boys." All go slowly out, leaving Anne and Barker to their assured love and happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
