Joe is sentenced to death, and Kate goes to the governor to beg for Joe's pardon, arguing the unfairness of using circumstantial evidence in a trial. When the governor resists Kate's entreaties, she tears her clothes and screams for help, convincing the governor's wife and the police that the governor attacked her.

Joe is saved from the gallows in the nick of time.
