This, however, does not terrify the ranch foreman, who discharges him for drunkenness. Pete laces on his hardware and lurches off, with the intention of shooting up the town where he pumped in his original trouble. On his way he comes across Baby Betty, the imperious pride of the ranch, who has strayed from home and is lost. She demands that he give her his gun, and he obeys her childish caprice. Then she orders him to take her home, and he obediently leads the way for further orders. When they arrive at the ranch she tells her father, the owner, that Pete is a real man and must be given work. The interest and astuteness of the child, tenders the tough westerner and changes him, so that he cuts out the liquor, and becomes a man again. When Baby Betty is abducted by a half-breed as revenge for some fancied wrong, Pete takes the trail like a blood hound, and rounds up the sneaking villain after a desperate fight. He returns the little girl to her parents, showing gratitude for his own reclamation as a respectable member of society. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
