In the early days, Williams had procured a mine, then thought worthless, from Jose, a Mexican, who eagerly swapped his claim for a burro. A week later Williams struck it rich. Twenty years later, Jose is a keeper of a dance hall. He recognizes Williams on his return and swears to avenge what he now looks upon as an unfair trade. Jose is abetted by Carlotta, a dance-hall girl of the old type, formerly betrothed to Williams and then deserted. Jose determines to get even with the millionaire by harming his daughter. Frank Broadhurst, a young man from the east, rescues the girl from the Mexican's first attempt. A few days later, Jose overpowers Lillian and binds her to the seat of the empty stagecoach. He then starts the driverless horses plunging down the steep pass. Williams comes hurrying to the spot, and Jose attacks him with his stiletto. Carlotta, overcome with horror, falls fainting on the railroad track. Frank Broadhurst, in an automobile, pursues the runaway stage. Meanwhile, Lillian has managed to break her bonds. The horses are headed for a broken bridge. She leaps into Broadhurst's car, narrowly escaping death. The lariat of a cow puncher pulls Carlotta from the path of an express train. Jose, afraid of his life, staggers over a cliff to his doom. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
