- For her daughter Edna to refuse wealthy Godfrey Ainslee and accept a poor Pony Express rider like Ned Hayden, appeared to Mrs. Nolan to be the height of folly. Firmly determined to marry the girl at any price, Godfrey, accompanied by Bert Hill, galloped after the Pony Express rider, overtaking and attacking Ned as he reached the most dangerous part of the road. Then followed a hand-to-hand conflict between the two men, ending in Ned being forced over the edge of the cliff. As Pete, the half-breed, to whom Bert had readily disposed of Ned's horse, rode past the scene of the struggle, he spied the young man's hat, and going to the edge of the cliff, was astonished to behold its owner, whose fall had been broken by the ledge below, holding his head and staring around in a bewildered condition. Hurrying down on the other side, he helped Ned to mount his horse, then taking the wounded man to his cabin, Pete offered the Pony Express rider what humble hospitality lay in his power. Here, physically recovered, but with memory gone, Ned remained for two months, and the time might have run into two years, had not Sheriff Nolan and his men recognized Ned's horse, followed his tracks, and discovered their lost friend in Pete's cabin, from whence he hurried them to Nolan Hotel, where the sight of Edna and Godfrey (who had spread the report that Ned had been seen in another part of the country), completely restored his memory, enabling him to give a full account of Godfrey's treachery, to the horror of foolish Mrs. Nolan, who at that moment had the minister ready to make her daughter Mrs. Ainslee. Without loss of words, Sheriff Nolan hustled Godfrey off to prison, while Ned, greatly to the satisfaction of all present, quietly took his place as the bridegroom.—Moving Picture World synopsis
