- Suspected of theft, the Indian was discharged on the ranch-hand's accusation, but the foreman's suspicions against the hand were confirmed in time to reinstate the Indian. In gratitude the Indian captured the thief with the ranchero's money and saved the girl as well.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- The young foreman had such a fascinating way that the ranchero's daughter could not help falling in love with him. There were two hands on the ranch, a disgruntled farm-hand and an Indian. The foreman had never really liked the farm-hand. The ranchero mislaid his money and coming out of the house he found the Indian in a suspicious attitude at the doorway. He concluded at once that the Indian was guilty of theft and on the ranch-hand's accusation he discharged the Indian. The foreman, however, suspicious of the ranch-hand, could not be convinced of the Indian's guilt and he agreed to intercede. That day the ranchero sold cattle and one negotiation netted a greater financial gain than he had anticipated. It was more money than they cared to have loose around the house. He and his daughter consequently placed the money in the bottom of a coffee jar which was filled with coffee. After leaving the Indian the foreman returned to the house and found the ranch-hand attempting to look in the window that he might see where the ranchero was hiding his money. His suspicions were confirmed. The ranchero. learning that ranch-hand had designs on his money and was really instrumental in having the Indian discharged. Sent the ranch-hand on his way and reinstated the Indian in his former place. That day was the young foreman's birthday and the daughter was desirous of purchasing a present in town. On the road to town the daughter passed the discharged ranch-hand who, with a confederate he had met at the saloon, had determined to return to the farm and get possession of the ranchero's money. The ranchero and his men had gone off into the field to make a survey of land. Thus the house was left alone. The two outlaws made easy entrance but were unable to find the money. They concluded to intercept the daughter and demand the money. They hid behind trees. She saw them and on her own horse made a dash by them. They, however, captured her near the house and dragging her inside, insisted that she tell them the hiding place. She refused. The Indian, who had returned from the field for a farm implement, spread an alarm. The girl, however, was able to keep the men at bay until the arrival of the men by surreptitiously stealing one of their guns. One of the outlaws made good his escape; the ranch-hand who had started all the trouble against the Indian. It was the Indian's opportunity and mounting the other's horse he went after the ranch-hand. It was a long chase, but at length he reached his side and snatching him from the saddle he brought him to the ground. A struggle followed in which the Indian overcame the other and bound him. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the accomplice had been captured and led away. Thus the Indian was able to show his loyalty and gratitude to the young foreman for protecting his honor. The girl remembered the birthday gift for which she had gone to town and while the ranchero was thanking the Indian for the part he had played in the affair the daughter was tying a necktie on the young foreman's neck.—Moving Picture World synopsis
