Jack is given a message for George Mason, which he delivers. Mason reads it and throws it down on the ground, which is picked up by his wife, who is shocked at reading: "A ranger is in town looking for cattle. Go slow, Bill." George Mason, finding an unbranded calf, brands it. His wife sees this and is satisfied he is a thief. When he returns, she liberates the calf, forgetting that it will seek its mother. Mrs. Mason accuses her husband and tells him what she has done. He then hurries to tell his partner. The wife tells Jack Beeman her story. Jack tells her the ranger must not see the calf, and starts out to re-brand the calf when he is caught in the act by the ranger. Jack immediately fells him and informs Mason's wife what he has done. Meanwhile, Mason and his partner quarrel, in which Mason kills the other. He tries to make his escape, but is overtaken and shot. Jack Beeman is then made prisoner. But Mrs. Mason explains that he tried to protect her honor, and he is released. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
